Trish and granddaughter Alice enjoy Book Week.

As part of the nation-wide Book Week celebrations, 29 toddlers and their families enjoyed the opportunity to dress up in costumes for a morning of fun on Tuesday.

After a special ‘song time’ session, families shared a range of books to celebrate the importance of literacy.

Toddle on Hoddle coordinator, Renae Blake, stressed the importance of reading to children from birth and the positive impact that it can have on children’s speech, vocabulary, imaginations, writing and reading skills.

Toddle on Hoddle is held in the multi-purpose room of Warrnambool West Primary School from 9.30am-11.30am each Tuesday of the school term.

The sessions are free, with morning tea provided.
