📚🌳 Explore, Discover and Read with the Openshaw Reading Trail! 🌳📚

Looking for a free family activity this week? Why not take part in the Openshaw Reading Trail!

10 waterproof reading folders are hidden across four local parks for families to find and enjoy together:

📍 Red Rec
📍 Sandywell Park
📍 Openshaw Park
📍 Delamere Park

Keep your eyes peeled... you might spot them tucked amongst tree roots, beside fences or hidden around play equipment! 👀📖

Reading together helps build language, imagination and communication skills, supporting children to get the Best Start in Life and develop the foundations for school readiness.

Please like, share and tag Manchester Settlement if you find one! 📚💚
