PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
The role of the Pre-Primary School teacher in preventing reading and spelling difficulties

Pre-primary school teachers hold a key role in determining future reading success or failure of their students. Leading brain research tells us that when neural pathways

that are malleable at this critical age are stimulated correctly, future reading success can be expected.

At this early age, the focus of instruction should be on developing the vital skills which are powerful in the prevention of later reading and spelling disabilities. Marit

Paul from Time2Read will be presenting her first ever Pre-School Specific Workshop at Cornwall Hill College Auditorium on Saturday 18 May 2013.

A Workshop Flyer is available for download.

Any interested persons should please RSVP to June O'Neill by close of school on Friday 10 May 2013, for administrative and catering purposes.
