This course is geared towards emergent/beginning readers. We are excited to offer a dynamic and engaging 2-hour reading program designed for students in Grades K-1. During this interactive experience, students will immerse themselves in the joy of storytelling through a variety of hands-on activities.
Each session will begin with a captivating read-aloud, where students will listen to and discuss a carefully selected story that sparks imagination and curiosity. Following the read-aloud, students will participate in a creative craft activity that ties into the theme of the story, allowing them to bring elements of the tale to life through art and hands-on learning.
Additionally, students will have the opportunity to become young authors themselves by creating their own stories. Through guided writing and drawing activities, they will develop their storytelling skills, express their creativity, and gain confidence in their literacy abilities. Our program fosters a love for reading, strengthens comprehension skills, and encourages self-expression - all in a fun and supportive environment!
