Our first student (pictured with her mum and teacher Kaz) to complete the ten-week book bugs early literacy course visited us recently and her parents said, “It was amazing!”.
“Adelyn loved getting her own mail every week. She was stoked when she opened up the parcel and found a note from the teachers. Spot was her first book and it came with a teddy which did not leave her side for days.
“We loved it that you stick with one book for a week. After a couple of readings, Adelyn was able to follow along. The concept of asking her about the front cover was great – it let her imagination run wild before we jumped in with the book.”
Her parents said the course gave her exposure to new words which they’d explain to her, and they’d often do the extension activities. “There was one book about a spider and we were encouraged to take the book into the real world – she became obsessed with looking at spiders!”
Book Bugs has helped Adelyn to use her already great imagination to make her own stories from what she’s read, and she loves composing songs.
