Testimonials

Very informative - plenty of ideas to use in our establishment before handing out next Bookbug bag, with regard to involving a better literacy link with parents.

Excellent and interesting - the time flew past. Lots of ideas to take away. All very helpful and Tracy was excellent.

Tracy gave a great presentation and really inspired me. I will definitely do a parents workshop and introduce other ideas that she suggested.

Lots of ideas to make Bookbug more meaningful for parents and children; great presentation; thanks - really enjoyed it!

Initially I was sceptical about what this course could offer, but I have been very pleasantly surprised. Many great ideas and interesting discussion. Thank you very much.

Very informative, giving a better understanding of what Bookbug is all about.

Tracy was a great teacher, she suggested lots of ideas and came across as happy and bubbly.

Loved all the fresh new ideas Tracy gave; I work between P1 and Preschool so the course was very good for me; very informative.

I also thought [Tracy Lowe] was brilliant, full of life and enthusiasm.

I would like to offer very positive feedback on the Scottish Book Trust Book-sharing training. All of the attendees (a mixture of Educational Psychologists, Head teachers, SENCOs and Infant Teachers) were extremely impressed with the quality of the presentation materials and the delivery of the training. There was a perfect balance of research findings/theory and practical activities.  Indeed the group felt that one of the strengths was that the training translated into immediate practice. 

The presenter left us feeling enthused about the potential that books and reading aloud can have in young children’s lives.  We loved Tracy’s book recommendations, ordered our favourites immediately and waited impatiently for them to arrive, to share them with our own, or borrowed children.  Tracy’s genuine love for high quality children’s books was infectious and it was a privilege to listen to her. 

All of the attendees feel that there is huge scope for bringing the training to a greater audience within our settings. We would like to offer the same training to a large number of parents in our schools.

Please would you pass on my thanks to Tracy for a most interesting, informative and entertaining day. I found it very worthwhile and I now intend to evaluate my practice and improve on it wherever I can.

I really enjoyed the course. I felt everyone there was willing to participate and pass on ideas. Knowing Tracy was going to give us a copy of our ideas meant I could concentrate on the job at hand. Looking forward to the next one!
