Investing in Myanmar: Riding the Second Wave of Reforms

Myanmar experienced high levels of foreign investment during the early years of the country’s shift to a market orientated economy, but interest decreased in the period after the 2015 elections as investors awaited the rollout of new policies to the investment framework. Recent actions taken by the Myanmar government to amend laws and policies relating to foreign investment and banking provides investors with greater opportunities than existed in the early years of the county’s economic opening. More opportunities exist across a broader range of sectors from services to manufacturing, agriculture and trading. However, investors seek greater clarity on the current opportunities, restrictions, and mechanisms in forming an investment decision in the complex regulatory environment of Myanmar.

Join us while we present on new legal, regulatory and policy reforms initiated by the government to encourage investment and discuss new opportunities that Myanmar presents to investors.

This seminar is by invitation only. Please email your RSVP to: Anchalee.Gulati@tractus-asia.com before Noon 27^thAug,2018 andwait for us to get back to you.

The Australian International School Bangkok Presentations for Parents Series 1 School Year 2018-19

Presentation 1

Friday 24th August 2018

Soi 20 Campus

2.30 PM to 3.30 PM

Learning to Read

Presenters

Ms. Karen Goss

Mr. John Chambers

All Welcome

Child Minding

Please let your child’s Homeroom teacher know if you are coming

Everyone knows that reading is an important life skill. As every child learns in their own way and at their own speed, becoming a confident reader can be a very personal journey for your child. Learning to read does not happen all at once, it involves a succession of stages that can lead, over time, to independent reading and to fluency.

While at school your child will be practicing letters, letter sounds, sight words, as well as guided reading sessions in small groups. You may not have heard of all or some of these practices before, but as they are something your child will be taking part in you would like to know more?

Mr John, Year 1 Pardalotes teacher and Jolly Phonics extraordinaire, and myself, Ms. Karen, K2 Potoroos teacher, are holding a Parent Presentation on Friday August 24th at 2.30pm.

During the presentation we will discuss stages involved in learning to read, what we do in school and how you can help your child as they move through each stage, what guided reading is and information on the PM reading programme. We will cover the importance of phonological awareness, tools that can help children develop reading skills, explain why reading aloud is so important, as well as how vocabulary and comprehension are essential in helping students become confident and fluent readers.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday.

Open a book

And you can share,

Wondrous words you find in there.

Open a book

And I will too

You read to me,

And I’ll read to you.
