Speaking Events

Katherine is available as a speaker at conferences, for talks and workshops with parent and community groups, professional learning in schools and preschools with teachers and the school's parent community.
Katherine's workshops vary from two hour workshops, a full day or a series of workshops to suit the needs of clients. Her workshops are informative, interactive and invite discussion and question time. They provide practical examples, relevant activities, involve the participants in a fun and non threatening way and give support resources.

Because the workshops are designed to meet the individual needs of the groups, her topics on Literacy are varied and flexible in both content and delivery style.
Topics have included:
- Engaging children in books - how do I get my kids reading?
