Learn fun and simple activities that will encourage your child’s language skills in each of six “pre-reading” areas.
Vocabulary
Enjoying books
Print Awareness

Rhyme Time and Story Time
Rhyme Time is a drop-in program for children ages birth to two with their parents or caregivers. It meets Mondays at 10:30 at the Central Library. The program is designed to help nurture your child’s early language skills through nursery rhymes and songs. So be ready to sing, dance, rhyme and spend some one-on-one time with your infant or toddler.
