Talk, Read, Write........... Family Reading 2009

Scéim Samhraidh um Léitheoireacht

Parents are the first and most natural teachers of their children. Tipperary Libraries' primary concern in the Talk, Read, Write............promotion is the development and improvement of children’s literacy, with the parent as the primary instrument of change. Improving reading isn't just about books. It starts with talking and communicating as a family via words and language, writing and reading together.

"Results show long term associations between pupils reading achievement and regularly reading to children before they enrol in school and regularly reading with them while in infant classes. There is also a clear link between the extent of education resouces in the home( such as encyclopaedia or books) and the pupil scores on the reading test." Succeeding in Reading?

Thosaigh Crann Léitheoireachta an tSamhraidh i Leabharlanna Tiobraid Árann ar an Luan 2 Iúil 2007. Ba chúis bhróid é do Bhanc na hÉireann urraíocht a thabhairt ar an scéim, a bhí ar oscailt do ghach aoisghrúpa.
Le haghaidh gach uile leabhar a léigh páiste, cuireadh duilleog lena ainm agus le hainm an leabhair air ar an gCrann Léitheoireachta. D’fhás na crainn seo sna leabharlanna, áit a raibh spás dóibh, agus chroch na páistí a nduilleoga féin.
Ag deireadh na scéime, ar 31 Lúnasa 2007, bhí na crainn lán. Buíochas le gach duine a ghlac páirt, is sibhse a chuir leo. Gheobhaidh gach duine a ghlac páirt teastas léitheoireachta agus bonn ag searmanas i leabharlann áitiúil.

Na Leabharlanna a ghlac páirt ná an Chathair, Carraig na Siúire, Cluain Meala, Cill Náile, an tAonach, Ros Cré, Durlas agus Tiobraid Árann. D’éirigh go maith leis an scéim agus ta buíochas mór le dul go ghréasáin bhrainsí Banc na hÉireann i dTiobraid Árann. Gan a dtacaíocht siúd, ní bheadh na boinn speisialta á tabhairt do na páistí a ghlac páirt.
