Early Reading Together®: A Practical, Proven Literacy Programme for ECE Services
Early Reading Together® is a research‑based, workshop‑style programme that gives ECE teachers and service providers a practical way to strengthen early language and literacy alongside families.
Why ECE Services Choose Early Reading Together®
Centres and home‑based services offer Early Reading Together® because it works. The programme is practical, enjoyable, and easy to run, making it manageable for teachers and welcoming for parents, caregivers, and children. Its hands‑on approach helps families feel confident and supported, while giving teachers a structured, evidence‑informed framework to guide early literacy learning.
What the Programme Aims to Achieve
The heart of Early Reading Together® is simple: to help children develop a lifelong love of language and reading, and the literacy abilities they need to participate confidently in their communities and wider society.
Why It Matters
When ECE services run Early Reading Together®, they strengthen the partnership between home and centre, empower families with simple strategies that make a real difference, and help children build the early literacy skills that shape later learning success. It’s a programme that is easy to deliver and powerful in its impact.
