Preschool Story Time is a read aloud program for children up to 5 years old (and their parents or caregivers). It is designed to deliver the pre-literacy and early literacy skills that will prepare children to successfully learn to read once they enter school. These essential skills are presented in a fun package that includes stories, visuals, music, movement and rhyme. The activities from Preschool Story Time (such as rhymes & chants, songs, stretches, and even picture books) can easily be repeated at home, allowing parents and caregivers to play an active role in their child's early literacy learning!
Don't forget to bring your library card so you can check out books to read!
