Summer Storytimes Begin July 9

While you’re waiting for Summer storytimes to begin, visit our For Kids page and try these early-literacy activities:

• Read Mr. Gumpy’s Outing  – then have a tea party with fruity flavored iced tea.
• Play I Spy with rhyming words –  “I spy something that rhymes with BAT.”
• Make sand letters – when you go to the beach.
• Keep books and CDs in the car – Great for running errands!
• Leave a few words out when you sing a favorite song – Then ask your child to remember the missing words.
• Sing nursery songs and rhymes to your baby.

Early literacy is what children learn about reading and writing before they can actually read or write.
