NSS2018 - WEDNESDAY 23 MAY 2018, 11AM

National Simultaneous Storytime is an annual campaign that aims to encourage more young Australians to read and enjoy books.
Now in its 18th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.
