Reading Time with Ms. Chloe

Registration Required through the included link. To schedule a time, go to: Make an Appointment - DCoL Events & Room Reservations - Durham County Library Does your child need more reading practice and could benefit from more reading aloud time? Or are they just learning phonics sounds and need more practice to build blending skills? Then this program is for them! Schedule a 20-minute session for your child with Ms. Chloe to work together with your child on reading and blending practice. You’re welcome to bring your own book or I’ll pull some books that will work for their range. While parents/ guardians don’t have to attend, they must remain on the children’s floor while their child is attending their session. If you no call/no show for two appointments in a row, all other appointments for the month will be cancelled to make room for patrons who are waiting for spots.
