Raising a Reader
The Raising a Reader parent information kit is a resource for parents with young children. The kit includes information and tips on how to introduce reading to young children up to eight years of age.
The set of six easy-to-read cards targets parents of babies, toddlers and school aged children. It offers information on the types of books suitable for young children and how parents can instil a love of reading in their children.
A kit will be sent home to every family with a child attending preshool or a childcare centre. Kits will also be displayed in primary schools, childcare centres, out of school care groups, libraries and medical centres across the Territory. You can also download the kit electronically by clicking on the links below.
Raising a Reader is part of the Northern Territory Government's Focus on Literacy initiative.
