Literacy for Life Courses
Book Buddies/Food Fun and Dog Tales will be offered in early in April. This course, provided by the experts from Literacy for Life, is one of the most popular courses presented by this agency.
Each week we will provide an activity around making your own creative book or helping your child find the joy in healthy snacks. Book Buddies: Parents and children make a themed book together using a variety of different materials. This allows a child to experience reading through their senses and play! Watch your child grow as the words you choose together leap off the pages. This is coupled with a story and circle time. Food Fun: When healthy food becomes fun, it becomes yummy for your kids and you! Join us in our mission to gets kids involved with the story of food. Your child will participate in making a snack that they can offer to you-the parent (some help may be required). Combined with a story, songs and rhymes all you have to do is eat and be merry! This course runs every morning from 10:30 till 11am from April 5th till June 21st – twelve fun filled sessions at the new library.
Dog Tales is a program for 8 to 12 years olds especially for children who struggle to find joy in reading. These children may require a safe space for that to happen. Dog Tales is designed to offer that. When matched with a gentle dog, children can relax and find a willing listener! Dogs are screened for their gentle nature and willingness to respond to affection - it's a win-win that's tried and tested. Watch the video at:
