Preschool Story Time is a read aloud program for children up to 5 years old (and their parents or caregivers). It is designed to deliver the pre-literacy and early literacy skills that will prepare children to successfully learn to read once they enter school. These essential skills are presented in a fun package that includes stories, visuals, music, movement and rhyme. The activities from Preschool Story Time (such as rhymes & chants, songs, stretches, and even picture books) can easily be repeated at home, allowing parents and caregivers to play an active role in their child's early literacy learning!
