Bec Hughes From Raising Literacy Australia Talks About Words Grow Minds Campaign
We welcome Bec Hughes from Raising Literacy Australia. Bec will provide further insight into the Words Grow Minds campaign.
The Words Grow Minds campaign highlights how actions like talking, reading, playing, and singing from birth help babies and young children thrive and boost brain development in the early years.
Developed with input from experts, the campaign is led by Raising Literacy Australia, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enriching children's lives through literacy.
Bec is a Senior Executive of Program Development and has over a decade of experience in early childhood education and vocational training. As a mother of two, she combines her professional knowledge with personal insights into the importance of early literacy.

We acknowledge this land that we meet on today is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country.We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people visiting/attending from other areas of South Australia/Australia.
