Welcome!
Welcome!
We are so glad you're here! Reading Pig is a project created to help children have access to reading time. Through this project, we hope to be able to give children the time to read, explore, and have fun with books. If you would like someone to read with your child, this is the perfect place. Thank you for reading and visiting our website! If you are interested, please go to the Join! tab and sign up.
To provide a fun and enjoyable time of reading and exploring
Why?
A study done by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development proved that reading helps children have better reading and cognitive skills. In addition, reading to children stimulates language growth and literacy. Children who were read to at home were proven to score better in the National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy. If you want more information about this study, visit: https://www.education.vic.gov.au/documents/about/research/readtoyoungchild.pdf
