Library to offer early childhood literacy workshops for parents

Parents and caregivers of children ages 0-5 can learn five easy ways to prepare their kids for reading in an Every Child Ready to Read® Parent Workshop at 5 p.m. Friday, February 28, at the Asheboro Public Library.

The fun, free workshop will show parents/caregivers how they can most effectively incorporate the five activities – talking, singing, reading, writing and playing – as they interact with their children. Employing these techniques has been shown to build pre-literacy skills that will help ensure children will be ready to learn to read when they begin school.

Every Child Ready to Read®, developed by the Public Library Association and the Association for Library Services to Children, is based on research about language, early literacy skills and how children learn.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro.
