Bookbug Session Leader training is for those who plan to deliver Bookbug Sessions (free song, rhyme and story sessions) in libraries or other community venues with groups of children (0–5 years) with their mums, dads or carers. Our interactive training is a balance of practical exercises and researched-based theory about book sharing, music and child development, followed by a short online module.
Although you will participate in songs and rhymes in the group, you will not be asked to sing on your own.
