Dear StrongStart families,

I hope you are enjoying the warmer weather and doing spring activities outside. I am also hoping that you are still finding lots of time to read with your child.

Reading is one of the most important activities you can do together. It is never too early to start reading; cuddling with a book at bed time not only builds a routine, provides comfort and creates memories, but it also builds a habit for a lifetime.

Spending time with your children telling stories, singing and reading books and also talking about them are important ways to help your child get ready to read.

Read, Read, Read Your Book
Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Read, read, read a book
It will help you grow
The more you read every day
The more you will know.

Read, read, read a book
Books are very cool
The more you read every day
The better you’ll do in school.

Check out this wonderful little video from the Burnaby Public Library with tips on home reading, Welcome to Kindergarten .

Don’t forget to join us for our Zoom Storytime on Tuesday, June 9th at 10 am with our special guest Jamie, the children’s librarian from the Tommy Douglas Library.

Ms. Lillian
