Have you signed up your little ones for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program yet? ReadSquared now allows you to enroll your child in a second program. When you log the books you read together, they will automatically be logged in both programs. Your child will earn summer reading prizes for every 50 books you read and your child will be entered in the grand prize drawing after you reach 200 books.

Summer is busy, and we want to say thank you for reading with your kids! Log books you read with your kids of any age, picture books, chapter books, and audio books!

Story Time
Story time programs aim to instill a love of reading by encouraging parents and other special adults to read aloud to children. Activities in story time promote brain and language development for children from birth to age 5. At story time, children and caregivers are introduced to five early literacy skills that are essential for learning to read including phonological awareness, vocabulary, letter knowledge, print awareness, and background knowledge.
Remember: Sing, Talk, Play, Write, READ!
**Registration is required for this class.
