ECRR Concept of the Week (7-5-07)


The Summer Reading Program is a great activity for the entire family. Even young non-readers can participate when moms and dads read to them and log their books. This is also an excellent opportunity for older siblings to read to their brothers and sisters. They both benefit. The older ones get to brush up on their reading skills while the younger non-readers get to hear someone else read (an important step in early literacy). Siblings get to spend quality time together, hopefully with no fussing or fighting. Now that’s a great summer program the entire family can enjoy!-Amy Dawson, Youth Services, Librarian, Catawba County Library System
