BANGALORE: Hide and Peek, play centre for children, will host an interactive workshop named ‘Nurturing Reading Habits’, which is aimed at providing a platform for parents to inculcate reading habits in children aged between 0 and 6 years of age. Shamsa Mistry will conduct these workshops on February 23. The initiatives is to provide learning opportunities to the pre-schoolers through short fun filled sessions.
Speaking about the initiative, Roshini Thadini, director of Hide and Peek informed, “The current realities surrounding our children include distractions and inability of parents to take time out to read to children and a simple inability to select right book for
the little ones. Inspired by the thought from Elizabeth Hardwick we are introducing a series of workshops on nurturing reading habits. We plan to introduce more innovative learning exercises before the summer vacation ensues. This will encourage children to explore the world simultaneously.”
The workshop is designed by Shamsa Mistry a graduate in MSc research methods and analysis.
The workshop will highlight the challenges parents face in initiating and sustaining reading habit and brainstorm on
possible solutions.
The topics for discussions will range from selecting an appropriate book for every age, to inculcating a regular reading habit and also means of encouraging reading habits among children. It also provides a platform to share and grow with other like-minded parents.
