Asquith in the Spotlight: Building a Love of Reading Early
At Only About Children, we know that reading is much more than a skill, it’s the foundation for a child’s imagination, confidence and lifelong love of learning. Our Asquith campus was recently recognised in The Daily Telegraph for its strong focus on early reading and the impact this has on children’s development.
From the earliest years, children are encouraged to explore books as a way of making sense of the world around them. Reading helps them develop language, critical thinking and creativity, while also supporting social and emotional growth. At OAC, we balance left-brain logic with right-brain creativity, ensuring children not only learn the fundamentals of literacy but also experience the joy of storytelling.
Our educators are passionate about creating meaningful reading moments every day, whether that’s sharing a story under a tree, exploring picture books in small groups or sparking conversations inspired by a favourite character. We know that when children connect with books early, they build skills that last a lifetime.
We’re proud that our Asquith campus has been highlighted for its commitment to fostering a love of reading and creating an environment where every child can thrive
