Geared toward kids and tweens, ages 7-12! Join us every Tuesday evening for the next chapter in our selected chapter book reading! A snack will be served.
Listening to books has serious benefits for developing readers. It helps tweens improve their pronunciation and fluency, improves focus and memory, increases attention span, builds comprehension skills, and can boost mental health by relieving stress and calming thoughts.
We will continue our reading of Sunny by Jason Reynolds.
Please join us for a storytime designed to promote early literacy skills through interactive stories, songs, games, and other fun activities! While content is geared toward preschoolers (ages 3-5 years), all are welcome to join in on the fun! The program runs for about 25 minutes, and families are invited to stay afterward for open play and socialization time. Open for all!
This program has a mix of sensory elements, some high energy (e.g. singing and moving) and some low energy (e.g. listening quietly to stories).
If you have any accessibility questions or accommodation needs, please email Lauren at lwise@dconc.gov. We ask that all requests be made at least three (3) business days prior to the event to ensure we can provide the best accommodations possible! Thank you!
