If you have questions about this event, please contact Sarah or Amy at the library at 304-842-8248.Story Time Fridays at 10:30am for children under the age of three. Many people believe that children learn to read and write in kindergarten or first grade. But developing literacy skills begins at birth through everyday loving interactions—sharing books, telling stories, singing songs, talking to one another, or pointing out and naming objects. Even painting, drawing or picking up things serve a purpose. These activities help develop hand muscles and coordination—skills necessary for learning how to write. Adults—parents, grandparents and teachers—play a powerful role in preparing young children for future school success and in becoming self-confident and motivated learners.Family Friday with "Kubo and the Two Strings," Bridgeport Public Library.
