Library time is offered to children in the Three-Year-Old Preschool classes through Kindergarten. Young children are exposed to the Library with their classroom teacher as they explore language through text. As children enter into the prekindergarten and kindergarten levels of our program their Library experience includes new stories, book buddies, a discussion of the story presented, and then a reinforcement or recreation of the story through activities that develop their imagination. After the story time, children are free to browse the books in the library. Children enrolled in the Kindergarten Class are able to check out the library books to take home and share with their families. Many developing language skills, written, aural and oral, are reinforced through literature.

Summer Library Newsletter
Dear Parents,
I pray that you and your family, friends and neighbors are enjoying your summer break. There are special moments that you can share with your child during this vacation period that will strengthen your family relationship as well as develop and strengthen your child’s language skills. Below are just a few suggestions:
Ten Ways to Raise A Reader
1. Read to your child every day. It’s never too early to start even – newborns respond to hearing you read.
2. Continue reading together even after your child learns to read.
3. Make stories come alive for your child when you read. Be animated and use different voices.
4. Be patient – let your child read aloud at his or her own pace.
5. Discuss what you read together. Ask questions, and listen attentively to your child’s answers.
6. Make reading time special.
7. Encourage your child to read at least 15 minutes a day, either to you or independently.
8. Take along your child’s favorite books wherever you go.
9. Take your child to the library often and check out a variety of
age appropriate reading material.
10. Be a role model.
Remember –
By encouraging your child to read, you are helping to ensure school success!
God Bless Your Summer,
Carol Krueger
