Capacity Building Workshops
Books Alive Capacity Building Workshops.
These one-to-one workshops are designed from the core philosophy of the CHALK Crew. We aim to develop literacy and language skills for children who are in school or getting ready for school. We focus on assisting children in finding their voice and self-expression with language. Bonus outcomes we see include a passion for books and reading; creative and critical thinking skills; concentration and reading confidence.
Books are brought to life by the children through workshops exploring the themes, characters, pictures and words. Using drama, visual art, craft, dance, and story-telling, children build reading, writing and numeracy skills.
The CHALK Crew completes a journal weekly with each child, documenting progress, achievements, difficulties and areas to work on together.
Workshops take place across the school term.
Cost per workshop, including preparation, planning, reporting and materials:
$145 for 45 minutes

We support children on the NDIS for development of daily care and life skills.
What does training and support for the development of daily care and life skills look like through The CHALK Crew program?
The work we do assists NDIS participants to build skills, language and experiences that will, in turn, help them to lead a more independent life.
In my capacity as "Other Professional", some more specific examples of the skills we work on using our creative arts approach are:
Planning and transactional skills for shopping, buying tickets, day trips, holidays etc.
Social skills, such as turn-taking, listening, focus and concentration skills to improve relationships and to boost engagement in social activities.
Short term, long-term and working memory skills for improved daily living and relationships.
Language to assist self-expression along with communication skills to process and define big emotions in consultation with your child’s Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist and Positive Behaviour Support Specialist for improved relationship and social skills.
Confidence building and skills to boost engagement in social activities.
Routines for self-care for improved daily living and family relationships.
