Family Reading Resource Kit
Each May families across the country engage in events during Adult Learners’ Week, encouraging them to learn through fun activities for people of all ages.
For Adult Learners’ Week 2011, a new resource kit was introduced to engage children and adults in Family Reading.
Adult Learners’ Week teamed up with Quick Reads to introduce the Family Reading Resource Kit - designed for children and adults to take part in stimulating activities that could lead to further interest in reading and learning together. It provided an opportunity for support workers/providers to talk to parents and carers about family reading and how they can introduce their children to reading as a fun activity, and learning together as a family. It also made use of the Quick Reads books, perfect for re-introducing adults to reading through short, well-written books by best-selling authors and celebrities.
The resource kit contained:
10 children’s books
- 5 Adult Learners’ Week drawstring bags
- 5 copies of 101 ways to get your child to read by Patience Thomson
- 5 Quick Reads posters
These Kits were a great way for schools, family learning tutors, children's centres and breakfast clubs and other community organisations to encourage children and adults to develop a love of reading during Adult Learners’ Week.
The Family Reading Resource Kit is available to order for £10 when purchased with the Adult Learners’ Week Event in a Box (£55).
