| Danesha and her mom leave with a bag of books after Family Reading Night |
On Thursday, April 19th, we held our first Family Reading Night in the Library, sponsored by Target. It was an adults-only workshop, for families of emerging readers. We discussed our memories of being read to and the books we loved. When we are reading to our children we are creating memories for them. Children are experts at reading pictures, a skill that we lose as we grow older. Paying close attention to the illustrations and discussing them with your child(ren) helps them to become better readers. Most important, the time spent together sharing a book, will create joy around reading.
Our next Family Reading Night will be on Thursday, May 17th.
