Paragraph list

Julia Bocking's Literacy and Dads (LADS) project aims to increase the number of fathers participating as literacy helpers in K-1 school reading programs at Queanbeyan Primary Schools.
A University of Canberra student has launched the nation's first father-led literacy project, to encourage fathers to become more involved in their children's literacy.
Having worked as a literacy tutor with teenagers, she saw the need for good attitudes towards reading to be formed early on - with the help of more male role models.
A male that values reading sets a powerful role model, particularly for young boys, who are statistically more likely to end up in remedial literacy program', she said.
