Workshops

A series of workshop sessions and one-on-one consultations will provide parents with information and strategies to help build and expand their knowledge base to support children's literacy learning. These workshops will help parents learn how to set up a portfolio, record their observations, collect samples and build on authentic daily life experiences to support their child's literacy learning. The information collected can be shared with schools in order to facilitate the parent-school learning partnership.

A team of local experts including members of the Family Matters and Nursery School staff will work together with Dr. Jane Baskwill of Mount Saint Vincent University and in consultation with Annapolis Valley teachers and Early Childhood educators to develop these workshops.

We will be posting more information as it becomes available.
