A Shared Reading Experience

A Shared Reading Experience

We will be providing the opportunity for you to experience Shared Reading at Presteigne library on Wednesday 11th February between 2 and 3.15.
The Reader organisation describes Shared Reading groups.
‘We select stories and/or poems to read aloud together. Everyone is welcome to share how the words make them feel, as well as their thoughts, ideas and memories. There is no pressure to talk or read aloud. Everyone experiences what is read in their own way, but the shared language found in literature can help us to understand ourselves – and others – better.

For thousands of years, literature has helped humans to find meaning and connection by providing a powerful language to explore our inner thoughts and feelings.
We believe that literature’s unique power has the potential to connect individuals, help us feel better and to rebuild lost social bonds.

Shared Reading brings people together and books to life in order to make warmer, healthier and stronger communities’ – The Reader

Together we will read, discuss, discover and explore.
