This unique 8 week program provides reading, discussion, and storytelling. A discussion leader and storyteller conduct weekly book discussion and storytelling programs for children ages 6 to 10 and their parents. Pre-reading activities are also provided for younger siblings.
In each 90-minute session, a storyteller demonstrates effective reading-aloud techniques, and a group leader encourages discussion about the story themes. These discussions are centered on humanities themes, such as fairness, greed and dreams. The stories span fairy tales and folk tales from around the world, stories about problems most individuals encounter, and tales from history.
The goal of the PRIME TIME reading program is to tranform families into lifelong readers.
Enrollment in PRIME TIME is free, but reservations are required. Healthy snack provided. Free transportation can be arranged. Please call Janice Gatlin for more information at (318) 424-1380.
