Volunteers sought for sounds program

Volunteers are currently being sought to assist with the Fun with Sounds program held at the Schools as Community Centre in Woy Woy.

"Fun with Sounds is led by the amazing Rosemary and she needs some support from people in the community that can commit to one Friday a month to help out with literacy skills for little readers," said facilitator Ms Philippa Skipper.

The program is designed to develop phonological and phonemic awareness, child-friendly phonics instruction such as games and activities for anchoring sound-symbol connections into memory, activities for sight-word recognition and correct letter-formation and pencil grip.

The program also teaches parents and carers how to get the most out of story time.

To register for a voluntary role or to attend Fun with Sounds with your children, contact Philippa at the Schools as Community Centres 0477 317 862.
