• Shared Reading

2026 is the UK National Year of Reading, so there is no better time to treat yourself to the pleasure of reading with others! Helen Currie will be starting a Shared Reading group which will run in church on selected Saturday mornings each month starting on 31st January at 10.45 - 11.45am.

 

Shared Reading is a perfect community activity - it involves coming together through a text, sharing our own responses and developing our thinking by listening to other people's ideas. There is no pre-reading or preparation involved and no HW is set! Helen will provide one or two readings each session which may be a short story, an extract from a longer text, a poem, an essay or even a play. Readings will come from authors from all places, cultures and periods in history. We read through the text together, with no efforts to be 'literary', just giving our personal responses to the text.

 

It's handy to know how many copies of the texts we need, so if you would like to come along then please let Helen know or email her on fergandhelen@blueyonder.co.uk,

 

Dates for future sessions: 7th February, 14th March
