Did you know that by simply reading to your child for 15 minutes a day you can help “wire” their brain for learning?<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the Barambah Parent and Community Engagement (PaCE) team is working to bring a culture of books – and parents reading to their children – into Cherbourg homes.<\/p>\n

PaCE brought State school teacher Frank Malone<\/strong> to meet Cherbourg Family Playgroup members on Tuesday this week.<\/p>\n

“Pop” Frank gave a short demonstration of how to read to children to keep them interested and explained how it helps them learn in later years.<\/p>\n

Parents were then given a “Let’s Read” pack which included a Budburra ABC book, fridge magnets and a storybook bought from Lifeline or donated by the Kingaroy Library and South Burnett community.<\/p>\n

The PaCE team hopes it will be able to set up a Swap A Book \u2013 mobile library.<\/p>\n

Assistant coordinator Emma Stewart said PaCE would speak to the community to find the best way to roll out books and the concept of reading to young children.<\/p>\n

Mum Vanessa Alberts chose “My Body, Time For Bed and Say Goodnight” for her daughter Jakyrah, 8 months, after she heard the Parents as First Teachers presentation.<\/p>\n

She thought the program would be good for Cherbourg.<\/p>\n

Shantelle Arnold wasn\u2019t a big reader herself but had a large box of books at home.<\/p>\n

“The babies grab them every day and their Nan reads to them,” she said.<\/p>\n

Cherbourg State School principal Peter Sansby said reading to your child from birth was proven to have huge benefits.<\/p>\n

“The more parents we get reading to children before they come to school the easier our job will be,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Their brains will be wired to learn from the time they hit prep. School will be even more fun and they’ll be able to fulfil their full potential and lead a happier life.<\/p>\n

“Learning starts from the day we’re born, not from the day we start school.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
