The Amazing Read

Preschool

Welcome to the Summer Reading Club. In 2011-2012,  The Amazing Read looks at the variety of ways we can bring the written word to life – including storytelling, performance, song, art, cartooning and cooking.

Information for Parents and Carers

The Preschool section of the Summer Reading Club is aimed at children aged birth to five years. With your child you can share books, stories and activities that foster early literacy and language skills and encourage your child to develop a love of books, reading and visiting your local library.
