The aim of the workshops is to provide teachers, who have been working with the material and method ‘Ready for a Story’ for some time, with a chance to get together and view and share ideas on how to optimize results in their day to day work: carrying out routines, exploiting games, songs and rhymes, and fostering emergent reading and writing, with the goal of helping our pupils as they become multilingual speakers, develop their emotional well being, learn to make decisions, be enterprising and cooperative.
