SEE HOW WE CHANGE LIVES
HOW DO WE KNOW IT WORKS?
Quite simply, because we see it in action. In workplaces, in local communities, with jobseekers and in aged care – across New South Wales we see how shared reading is making a difference.
Participants and facilitators tell us about how shared reading has changed their lives or given them the tools to change the lives of others.
Along with what our trained facilitators learn every day, our practice is informed by a growing international body of research that details the impact of the shared reading model.
