Early Literacy Workshops for Spring 2010


One of the best gifts you can give to a young child is time spent reading together. Please join us for our "Every Child Ready to Read" workshops in April, 2010 to learn why reading together is so important. At these free parenting workshops we will address early literacy skills for children birth to age six. Our focus is to help your child be ready to learn to read by the time they enter Kindergarten. These workshops are for parents, grandparents, teachers and caregivers of young children. Please note, no childcare is available.
Registration is required and begins one month in advance of each workshop. For more information or to register, please phone (503)350-3600.
