Storytime To Go: E is for Early Literacy

The 5 most important things parents and caregivers can do to support their child’s early literacy learning.

Talk     Talking with children helps them learn to express themselves with language.

Sing     Singing, which often includes rhymes, helps children become aware of sounds in language.  This will help them decode words when they learn to read.

Read   Do you know the best way to help your children become successful readers?  Read to and with them from birth!

Write  Through writing, children realize that sounds are represented by letters and words and that text means something.

Play     Children learn about the world through play.  The knowledge they gain from playing helps children comprehend what they read.

Children of all ages and reading levels are welcome!

Reading sessions take place in a quiet, comfortable area. The child picks out a book that they would like to read, and sits down next to the dog and handler and reads.

Registration required. Give us a call to set up a time! Sessions are broken up into 15 minute time slots.
