National Simultaneous Storytime

We took part in the National Simultaneous Storytime event on May 24th. This annual event in Australia focuses on highlighting the significance of reading and literacy for young children. The event involves the simultaneous reading of a carefully selected children's book in multiple locations nationwide.

 

This year, the chosen book was "The Speedy Sloth" authored by Rebecca Young. The story's uplifting message reminds us that 'winning' doesn't always mean beating everyone else. It can be found in the satisfaction of taking on challenges, overcoming fears, or embracing new experiences with joy and enthusiasm.

 

If your family has some spare time, you might consider listening to this story together and engaging in a discussion about its significance.
