Additionally, transformative holistic strategies are addressed to bring consciousness to universal themes in endearing Picture Books of recent publication. This lived-through experience is exemplary to implement with students at all levels.

 

On The Reading Workshop

This session is a lively and warm invitation to share the experience of independent and shared reading. The Listening Circle gives participants a chance to indulge in little conversations about books. Moments of attentive reading and moments with playful breaks allow readers to pause, process and reflect. The framing of key questions is offered to keep conversations going.

 

On Holistic Strategies

To facilitate deep reading and connection, holistic activities are central to tap into the enormous source of energy and emotions. Creative and imaginative play are at the core of this workshop to facilitate insight and help build bridges of understanding.

 

The Books

A body of 25 books spices up the session. These are titles of recent publication, many of which come from SL Travelling Libraries project.

A selection of books embracing Kinder and Primary school are displayed for teachers to pick and explore. The themes revolve around issues of inclusivity, identity and understanding.

The structure of Picture Books is also addressed to provide a deeper understanding of the physicality and dynamics of this genre. Picture books make wonderful points of entry into social studies and the exploration of the self – for all ages.

 

More benefits:

Teachers can also take a taste of The Travelling Libraries content as well as how to implement it.

This is a self-standing project, which may tie in with SL Travelling Libraries book loan project, or not, depending on the school’s needs.
