Preschool Storytime

Did you know that storytime is a great tool in helping your child prepare for school?

Storytime is a fantastic opportunity for your child to practise skills like sitting still, listening and using inside voices. They watch adults model behaviours and learn reading concepts like following words from left to right, book mechanics and associating spoken words with written words. Pre-reading skills help them to become independent readers.
