Fun storytimes are planned for pre-schoolers, their parents or carers in Canowindra Library on Thursday, 3 February at 11am. They will be reading stories, singing songs, playing games and making crafts.
Storytime sessions are held every Thursday during the school term and cater for pre-school age children. Storytime is free and each session lasts about one hour.
There is a wealth of evidence to support the fact that children who are read aloud to on a regular basis when they are young, are more prepared for learning to read when they start school.
When hearing someone read, children learn the structure of language, grammar and the sound of words. They also learn to love books, to enjoy them for the content, stimulation and entertainment they provide.
Reading aloud to your child is also a great opportunity to share time together and bond.
Participants are asked to arrive 10 minutes early to allow Storytime to run on time and to leave mobile phones in their bag/ pocket, turned off or down.
Please let the library know you are coming along by booking your place online via Eventbrite.com.au, or the Central West Libraries event page, or call the library on 6344 1796.
