Shared Reading Taster Session with The Reader

Shared Reading is a powerful experience that sparks connection, improves wellbeing and builds community.Working with charity The Reader, Elizabeth Gaskells House are hosting two drop-in Shared Reading taster sessions where you can experience the joy of reading together.During the session a trained Reader Leader will select an extract from one of Elizabeth Gaskells novels to read aloud together.

Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts, ideas and memories there is no pressure to talk or read aloud.

Everyone experiences what is read in their own way, but the shared language found in literature can help us to understand ourselves and others better.
