Sign your kids up to participate in the "1000 Books Before Kindergarten Club"
|
Give your child the tools to become a successful reader! Join the “1000 Books Club” sponsored by the Chesley Memorial Library with help from Northwood School teachers. The program is open to any child from birth to the start of kindergarten. Reading aloud to children at birth strengthens their language skills and builds their vocabulary – two important tools for learning to read when they enter kindergarten. Stop by the Chesley Memorial Library to register your child, learn more about the program, and receive a free canvas book bag for registering.
You can sign your young children up anytime before they start kindergarten. Start today!
Congratulations Michael!
