Reading
Together
Why early literacy matters
In the first 3 years of life your child’s
brain grows to around 80% of its adult
size, making this the prime time to
nurture their learning & development.
Reading and talking to your baby
stimulates their brain and their
imagination.
Reading together encourages their
focus and concentration, and
emphasises the sounds used to create
and develop their speech. Pointing to
the pictures on the page, or naming
things around you, as you say the
word, helps their understanding of
words, concepts and context.
Literacy isn’t just about books, it is the
whole reading, writing, speaking and
listening circle, that is the foundation
to learning.
Come along to our Rattle & Rhyme
and Storytime sessions and we'll share
tips on sharing stories together. Taylah, a Summer Reading winner with Sarah

Friday session continues in school Just reading books isn’t enough. When books are matched to a

parents are actively involved, reading skills grow. With a younger
