Parent Ready Readers

Parents and carers of children in Prep to Year 3 are invited to register their interest for free Parent Ready Reader training.

Parent Ready Reader training provides parents and carers with some key strategies to use at home to support their child's reading.

The training runs for approximately two hours and consists of four modules:

• What is literacy?
• Understanding the reading process
• Stages of reading
• Listening to your child read

Participants receive a Parent Ready Reader booklet with training notes, reading activities and additional resources.

Parents and carers may also be interested in registering to become a Queensland Ready Reader.

Other reading initiatives include:

• Queensland Reading Ambassadors
• Reading Awareness Campaign
• Premier's Reading Challenge.
