Improving home-school links around reading

With Giglets, schools can provide a rich library of texts that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. Giglets is a cost-effective and impactful solution that gives parents and carers opportunities to share reading experiences and the joy of stories at home.

 

Access from anywhere, anytime

Giglets bridges the gap between home and school, allowing children to dive right back into their reading whenever they want, wherever they are. Giglets supports the promotion of reading beyond the school day through specific follow-up and reading response activities that encourage ongoing engagement and learning.

 

From school to home

With Giglets, schools can build stronger connections with families. Reading and task progress made at home is seamlessly shared with a child’s teacher. This visibility supports meaningful dialogue between educators and parents or carers about how best to encourage regular reading and support comprehension development.

 

Interactive reading experiences

Through interactive features, parents can actively engage with their child's reading material, fostering a collaborative reading environment at home. Audio narration and multilingual content support children and their parents and carers in following along, enhancing the shared reading experience.

 

Active parental engagement

Schools can use Giglets to provide shareable, discussion-based reading activities that foster oracy and comprehension. These tasks are designed to encourage parents and carers to ask questions, prompt reflection, and explore vocabulary - reinforcing the reading skills being developed in class. For schools seeking to improve family engagement with literacy, Giglets offers a flexible and accessible platform that supports purposeful, inclusive home involvement.
