Program Description
Event Details
Relax and listen to a middle grade book. Get comfy. Have a snack. Miss Donna will read aloud each Thursday. We’ll begin at Prosser. Once that book is finished, we’ll start a new book at the McMahon location.
This is best for ages 8 to 12, but anyone who wants to listen is welcome. Registration is appreciated, but not required. Feel free to drop in anytime—but remember that we’ll be continuing the same book, not reading a new one each time.
Note: Please check online as some weeks may be skipped here and there for various reasons.
Parents and caregivers, what are the benefits of hearing a story read out loud? Listeners hear how words are pronounced and used in context along with the fluency of the text. It develops empathy, expands vocabulary, and encourages visualization. It exposes the listener to new books and genres. Most of all, it’s a shared love-of-reading experience that strengthens the desire to read more.
