Description

Ready Readers provides Early Childhood Educators with a toolbox of ideas and activities to use with children in the year prior to and throughout the first Term of formal schooling.

Multisensory, play based activities are presented in lesson plans which are easily incorporated into homes, small group interventions and early childhood settings. All activities focus on developing the key phonological awareness skills that relate to early literacy development and ensure that all children become ready to read.

The programme was developed collaboratively by Karen Trengove (Speech Pathologist) alongside Early Childhood Educators and has been piloted successfully in NSW early childhood centres and Kindergartens
