“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” 
(Oh, the Places You’ll Go! By Dr Seuss)

One of my great passions is reading. Since starting at THAC, one of my overarching goals is to help foster a deeper reading culture through the College. To help with this, we have put professional learning time and resources into building up support for all students that will develop their skills and understanding in early literacy in P-2.

Early Term 2, we are inviting parents from K-2 to come along to the JS Library to hear about InitiaLit, a program we started in the College in 2022. The session will run from 4-5pm. Please look out for communication coming to you for registration purposes. We would love to see you there.

Of course, until then, keep reading with your children at home. To finish with another Dr Seuss quote,

“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
