Literacy event with Corey Tutt
On 30 May the Council of Catholic School Parents NSW/ACT held an online event to provide parents and carers with additional tools to support their children’s literacy at home.
Written for children aged 7-12 The First Scientists is the winner of the 2023 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards Patricia Wrightson Prize for Children’s Literacy and Winner of the 2022 ABIA Book of the Year for Younger Children.
The first 200 people who registered for the event received a free copy of The First Scientists, a leaflet with tips on helping children to read at home and a fridge magnet with home reading tips.
Jason Allan, Chair of the CCSP Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Committee, gave a Welcome to Country in Language and in English. Cath Garrett-Jones, CCSP Executive Director, provided a few tips about reading at home before playing the video of Corey Tutt reading from The First Scientists.
