Adventures in Story Time

Stories, songs and craft activity

Adventures in Story Time introduces young children to books, rhymes, crafts, and other fun interactive activities. Each session is a chance to practice reading readiness skills like listening during stories, letter awareness and predicting. These skills build the foundational knowledge to prepare children to learn to read.  Posted ages are just a suggestion, please attend whichever date and time works for you.
