Little Seeds Reading Groups

 

Reading with comprehension is the gateway to quality education. Little Seeds Reading Groups promote reading with a fun, creative, interactive and intergenerational approach. Reading group facilitators undergo a simple training programme and read to approximately 10 children once a week.

Little Seeds Reading Groups are easy to manage, with minimal restrictions on registration and legislation. It is an ideal platform for relationship building in a community or congregation.
