Building Blocks is a pilot home-based parents outreach programme by Temasek Foundation and Learning Vessels.

It aims to share evidence-based parenting tips, with a hands-on focus, for parents with children aged up to 3 years.

Early Literacy at Home

We are calling for parents of children aged 1-3 to join the second run of Building Blocks’ “Early Literacy” programme, which will help you learn and practise techniques to enhance your child’s early literacy skills.

This programme:

will be conducted entirely online through a closed Facebook community,
with materials sent to your home, and
is accessible at your own time.

We are recruiting 500 programme participants.

You can register your interest here from 14 September 2020 onwards.

We will inform you in October 2020 whether you have been accepted into the Programme.

For participants accepted into the programme:

You will be asked to join a closed Facebook community of parents/caregivers with children in the same age group.
A free starter kit worth $65 (items shown in images below) will be sent to your home. We estimate that the kits will be sent out in Nov 2020.
You will be asked to view videos that will demonstrate how the kit items can be best used with your children to enhance their emerging literacy (reading) skills.
Free downloadables and tips will be shared and online workshops will be offered for parents who want to learn more. Topics covered include enhancing vocabulary, building early phonological awareness and shared book reading.
This content will be provided progressively over a period of 7 weeks from late October – mid December 2020 for you to access at your own time.
As a member of this community, you will also be welcome to share your own experiences and ideas with other parents in the group.
Finally, participants that complete a detailed questionnaire will receive a second add-on kit.
