SATURDADS
A Booktrust scheme to encorage fathers to be storytellers and good parents
 |
| At Crossgates Leeds Library encoraging Dads to read to their children |
Catherine Vase, working with
Booktrust to run the Leeds Get Dads Reading Hour storytelling workshop, said:
“Most new parents experience a lack of confidence around lots of parenting
issues, and reading is no different. Impassioning dads about creating, as well
as reading, stories is important. Booktrust is forward thinking in its
knowledge that only one in eight dads takes the lead with the bedtime read. My
pilot sessions build confidence with these dad’s and let them know they have
every skill they need to be great storytellers and parents. With the Get Dads Reading Hour
workshops, we hope to facilitate all parents, but dads especially, in their
inherent desire to give their children a flying start in life. Encouraging a
love of books from an early age is a way to do this.”
