TIPS FOR GROWING READERS1. Read to children from the time they are born.

It’s never too early to start!

2. Set aside a special time to read, when you and your family are relaxed.

3. Children enjoy setting the pace of reading time. Encourage them to turn the pages.

4. Many children like to hear the same story again and again. It comforts them and helps develop language skills.

5. Visit the library often to choose books and enjoy programs together.

In this language and music program, children will learn basic vocabulary and short phrases in a second language while singing, dancing, and playing with instruments and fun props. For ages newborn to 5 years with parents/caregivers.
