Building a love of reading 

Embracing the joy of reading with your children at home is an absolute game-changer for their cognitive, emotional, and social growth! It's not just about instilling a love for books; it's about embarking on thrilling adventures together, where every page turn unfolds new worlds and endless possibilities. Sharing these literary journeys builds crucial skills like language mastery, vocabulary expansion, and deep comprehension. Plus, diving into stories ignites a spark of curiosity and imagination in your children's minds, nurturing their creativity and sparking lively discussions. Through the diverse characters and rich narratives, you're not just reading—you're cultivating empathy, cultural understanding, and a thirst for knowledge that will serve them for life. So, let's dive into the world of books together and watch our children soar to new heights!

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) hosts the National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) annually. This event showcases a picture book created by an Australian author and illustrator, read simultaneously across various locations such as libraries, schools, pre-schools, family daycares, and homes nationwide. Celebrating its 24th year, NSS is a lively and engaging occasion designed to emphasize the importance of reading and literacy. Each chosen Australian children's book tackles relevant themes and aligns with learning objectives from the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
