Early Literacy Storytimes

“Bee” Ready to Read!
Storytimes get kids excited about books and reading, and encourage the development of essential pre-reading skills. These classes will explain how parents and caregivers can get children ready to read. This is a series of four half-hour free classes. Using picture books, songs, poetry, fingerplays, flannel boards, and crafts, storytimes will make literacy fun. Each week, we will highlight one of the six early literacy skills: narrative skills, letter knowledge, print awareness, print motivation, phonological awareness, and vocabulary. Registration is required for this series. Please register online, in person, or by phone by May 11. Register once for the 4-part session.
