Early Literacy Seminars for Parents

What is Early Literacy?

The following seminars have already taken place. Check this page again soon for future seminars!

Spring 2011 Seminars at Cedar Mill Community Library:

The foundation for getting ready to read is more than the ABC’s! These Early Literacy seminars for parents of children from birth to 5 years old will focus on the six early literacy skills that research points to as essential for children to know before they learn to read. Early Literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they learn to read and write.
The seminars will include current information on brain research, the six early literacy skills, tips for sharing and choosing books for little ones, activities to help develop these skills and information packets.

The schedule is as follows for parents of children:

Birth to age Two: Wednesday, April 13, 6:30-8:30 pm

Ages Two and Three: Wednesday, April 20, 6:30-8:30 pm

Ages Four and Five: Monday, April 25, 6:30-8:30 pm
