Next week, Fay School is holding its annual literacy event for parents of young ones. It’s pitched as a workshop to help you add to “Your Parenting Toolbox”.
The evening will focus on “Fostering Language and Literacy in the Early Years”. The program is geared to parents of 3-6 year olds.
Your Parenting Toolbox: Fostering Language and Literacy in the Early Years
Learn from the experts on how to help your child develop essential literacy skills that will enable them to become readers and writers. In this workshop, you will learn about typical speech and language development and how these skills form the foundation for reading and writing, the building blocks of academic success. You’ll also learn specific strategies for fostering language and literacy skills at home, and you’ll walk away with a “toolbox” of progress checklists, teaching tools, activity ideas, and literacy games to use with your child. This workshop is recommended for parents of children under age seven.
The event is free, but registration is required.
The workshop is scheduled for Thursday, April 24th, from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. It will take place in the Dining Commons at Fay School’s Primary School. That’s at 23 Middle Road, where parking will be available.
