Early Literacy Tips

Talk

Sing

Read

Children learn about language by listening to parents talk and joining the conversation.

Singing slows down language so children can hear the different sounds within words.

Reading together develops vocabulary and motivates children to learn to read.

Write

Play

Show your child written words. They will learn that printed letters stand for spoken words.

Playing helps children put thoughts into words and talk about what they are doing.

1,000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN

Learn more at EveryChildReadytoRead.org

Ages: Birth–Preschool Every book read helps to build your child’s literacy skills. Stop by the Youth Services Desk to register your child for this ongoing reading club and keep them on track for kindergarten.

Coming This Fall

BLUE MOON

TALKING TO STRANGERS

THE INSTITUTE

by Lee Child

by Malcolm Gladwell

by Stephen King

“In the next highly anticipated installment of Lee Child’s acclaimed suspense series, Jack Reacher comes to the aid of an elderly couple— and confronts his most dangerous opponents yet.”

— GoodReads.com

“Through a series of puzzles, encounters and misunderstandings, from little-known stories to infamous legal cases, Gladwell takes us on a journey through the unexpected.”

— GoodReads.com

“As psychically terrifying as Firestarter, and with the spectacular kid power of It, The Institute is Stephen King’s gut-wrenchingly dramatic story of good vs. evil in a world where the good guys don’t always win.”

— GoodReads.com
