CAPER in Junior Infants

11th Jun 2025
C.A.P.E.R. stands for children and parents enjoy reading. It is an early intervention reading strategy implemented from the second term in Junior Infants to the end of Second class.

The aims of the caper programme are
  • To promote the reading levels of children in the Junior classes
  • To increase awareness of the value of parents contribution to the learning process
  • To strengthen links between home and school
  • To foster positive attitudes to reading
  • To extend parent and teacher knowledge of good children’s books
  • To create a love of reading and books
Our Junior Infants enjoyed reading books with their parents, teachers and SNAs today.
