Storybook Dads, a programme running at Otago Corrections Facility since 2007, has connected more than 140 prisoners with their children - at the same time enhancing their literacy skills. Delivered in partnership with the Methodist Mission - Approach Community Learning, Storybook Dads runs for ten weeks and is offered three times a year. It results in a DVD of the father reading a book and this, along with a hard copy of the book, is delivered to the children in time for Easter, Father's Day or Christmas. The big break-through came earlier this year when approval was granted for the prisoners to be videoed reading the stories, says Dorothy Crofts, Programme Manager, Otago Corrections Facility. This means that families can see the men rather than just hear their voices. Music and other sound effects are also added to the DVD. Read More. |
