Story Sacks

Parents have said: 

This course helped me remember how much I love reading and to share that enjoyment with my children. I loved coming to the course and meeting other parents”

“This course made me be able to explain books and their contents to my child. I appreciate reading books more. I think every mam and dad should do this course to meet other parents and get the kids loving books and reading”

For who? 

Story Sacks  is a language and literacy programme run in partnership with local primary schools focusing on brining books to life.

Its for mams, dads and caregivers of children attending primary school.

What can I expect? 

Weekly class for 8 weeks in a local school from 9am -11am.

Why do we do it?

Over eight weeks parents develop a range of skills and create a “story sack” 

Parents are supported to:

  • Hug their books!
  • Model to their children that learning is fun and enjoyable
  • Encourage their children to have a positive attitude to learning
  • Develop their children’s imagination, language skills and a love of learning.
  • Reflect on home learning opportunities
