Supporting reading @SALC – ideas for parents

Sometimes it is hard to know where to get ideas to help your child with their reading.

Luckily there are many resources and books to give you ideas about how to do this.

READING RESOURCES (Books)

We have many books in the Parent Library that give ideas and support for promoting reading. One of these is Mem Fox’s Reading Magic. Please let us know if you would like to become a member of the Parent Library and borrow books from the Parent Library.
