CHILDREN at Bright Horizons Sale Day Nursery and Preschool have been improving their reading skills after taking part in the organisation’s Growing Readers enhancement.
The children have been reading 'Show Me a Shadow' which led them to ask more questions about shadows. They then used torches to create their own shadows in order to understand how they are formed.
“The children were keen to learn more about their shadows and the book inspired them to do so,” said Jessica Gill, nursery manager. “We were delighted at the improvement shown in their reading ability.”
The Growing Readers enhancement aims to cultivate a love of books and emphasise the importance of reading aloud.
