Literacy Specialist? Teacher? Professor? Join Read Australia™ and contribute
to the Read Australia™ Parents Aboard Program- a resource for parents of
pre-school and Prep aged children, and of children failing to read and spell with
confidence by the age of 7.
'Parents Board' is a new free online support network.
There will be specific training courses and resources available for parents, childcare
centres, youth agencies and schools later this year. We are writing a series of books for parents based on clinical studies and worldwide research into the development of early language and literacy development and the prevention of literacy failure. A range of resources and phonics based 'readers' will also be available. Part of 'Parents Aboard' is the 'Fresh Start to Literacy' which is specifically for children aged 8+ who are not reading and spelling with confidence- including teenagers. Join as a Committee Member and contribute to the program- it is non 'phonics program' specific and encourages us to unite us as specialists.
Contact Read Australia™ today with your comments, questions and if you would like to contribute as a specialist!
