The Hocking College Community Outreach Center and the Athens County Public Libraries will sponsor Every Child Ready to Read workshops at 1:30 p.m. February 20, 2012 and 11:30 a.m. February 27, 2012 in Davidson Hall room 108. Library staff will deliver training, and each participant will receive ten brand new children's books and other learning materials.
Whether a child is four days old or four years old, it is not too early or too late to start building early literacy skills. The Athens County Public Libraries are offering this free one-hour workshop to Hocking College students and staff who are parents and/or caregivers of children from birth to age five.
Every Child Ready to Read is a nationally recognized, research-based training program that teaches techniques to develop early literacy skills in the very young. Everyday routines can easily be adapted to include opportunities for learning. Singing, talking, reading, writing and playing can help caregivers and parents prepare young children to be ready to learn when they reach school age.
The Hocking College Community Outreach Center is proud to co-sponsor this program as a means to boost literacy and encourage students and staff to achieve a work/life balance.
Each workshop is limited to 20 participants. Please email Suzanne Brooks-Korner to register. The event is for parents and/or caregivers only. Participants are asked not to bring children, but may bring their lunch to the workshop.
