Why Hook into Books™?
Hook into Books™ is a national campaign led by the Learning Without Barriers team. The Education team aspires to see all children and young people in out-of-home care (OOHC) are given opportunities to enhance their own literacy story.
We know that the benefits of reading, listening, and telling stories to children of any age are endless. The benefits of early literacy are evidenced widely; however, this journey continues right through into adolescence (and beyond). For young people, literacy is a key mental health protective factor. Young people who are literate are more likely to remain engaged in education and community, have confidence in navigating the increasingly complex world and remain connected with supportive people in their lives.
We all have a role to play in supporting children and young people's ongoing learning and educational engagement. Why not have a bit of fun at the same time and hook into a book with us?
