New study shows reading helps children’s development - Cardiff and the Vale Welsh for Adults Centre plan to launch new courses to teach adults how to read in Welsh with children

Reading with children from a young age has a long-term positive impact on the child’s development, says the research study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (2011).

Discounting social differences, the study found children with early support remained ahead in reading.

The Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan Welsh for Adult Centre plan to run Welsh for the Family reading classes to support adults who wish to read in Welsh with children. This project will help improve parents Welsh reading skills so that they can support their children by reading in Welsh.

Rachel Heath-Davies, Director of the Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan Welsh for Adults Centre said: ‘’The OECD study shows the importance of reading with children to improve their development. Our new Welsh for the Family reading clubs will provide support for parents who wish to learn to read in Welsh with their children.’’

The Centre based in Cardiff University also runs Welsh for the Family courses for parents, guardians, grandparents or anyone working with children to learn some of the language to use with children.

For more information on Welsh for the Family reading classes or Welsh courses contact the Centre: 029 2087 4710 www.learnwelsh.co.uk
