All Kids Can Be Readers

Teachers, parents and aspiring writers have a opportunity to engage with the Children’s Laureate and one of Australia’s most beloved children’s authors, Sally Rippin.

Hear Sally talk about challenging the traditional ways of how children learn to read, the importance of being included in hearing and sharing stories and how we can make reading accessible to all children—including those who find it most challenging.

The session aligns with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers, making it an essential opportunity for professional learning. Sally’s appearance is made possible through support from the Australian Children’s Laureate Foundation.

This free event hosted by The Words on the Waves Writers Festival and the Central Coast branch of the Children’s Book Council of Australia. The event will be moderated by children’s author and education advisor for the Melbourne Writers Festival, Karys McEwan.

Bookings essential. Book online, ask in any Central Coast Council library, or phone 4304 7650.

BOOK FACE Erina will have copies of both Sally and Karys’ books available for purchase on the night.
