Reading aloud is a wonderful way to spark a lifelong love of books and storytelling in children. This program invites kids to gather in a cozy corner where popular children’s fiction and picture books come alive through expressive reading and discussion. It's designed to boost comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and expression in a fun, supportive environment.
What to Expect
Join us on Wednesdays for an hour of interactive reading sessions tailored for children aged 6 to 10 years. Each session encourages participation and storytelling skills, helping your child develop confidence and a deeper understanding of literature. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere where children can share their thoughts and enjoy popular stories together.
