Extending The Reach

Extending the reach

We aim to support other prison sites across Victoria establish Read Along programs. By supporting staff who visit / work within these facilities,
we can offer:

A read along start up kit 
The kit includes the delivery of 15 new children’s books – titles with wide appeal within our program – also craft materials to personalise book packages, and templates for fliers & forms. 

Support 
Our program facilitator can also offer informal support to other would-be facilitators via Zoom. Over the next twelve months we will establish an informal community of practice amongst Read Along facilitators for mutual support and sharing of experiences. 

‘My six year old took the book I chose him (All The Ways To Be Smart by Davina Bell & Allison Cooper ) to school for Book Week. Mum said he told the class the book was special because he could listen to his mum read it whenever he wanted.’
