The Learning Library: Journeys Into Reading

 

Does your child need encouragement to read? This online workshop helps children own and become confident of their reading skills and choices.

Rekindle the joy of reading in children! We begin by reframing the book discussion: from "What is the book all about?" to "How did you encounter the book?"  Among the shortlisted books for discussion are: "The Homework Machine", "The Wild Robot", "Frindle", and "The One and Only Ivan."  Each session will feature activities that challenge young readers to imagine, to play and create, and to ask questions about themselves and the world.

The month-long program aims to increase self-confidence when thinking through problems, making critical choices, and expressing thoughts and ideas with others.
