Jo Baker - reading helps Recovery

Jo Baker received the ‘Inspirational Athlete Award’ at the 2024 CHB Sport and Recreation awards. Having crashed from her bike during a race, she recovered from surgery for a life-threatening traumatic brain injury. She had also broken 14 bones on the right side of her body, from her pelvis to her head. Through a painstaking recovery, Jo went on to compete at the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Spain alone with a number of other events. Reading helped her a lot during her recovery.

Reading for Fun: JayDee

Reading out loud to your child/ren stimulates their imagination and expands their understanding and development of language. It is also a nice quiet one on one time with each other.

JayDee has enjoyed reading The Dragon Defenders series by James Russell. He says getting his parents to read to him is choice.
