Read Aloud at IMCPL
Families with young children are invited to visit their local Southside branch of the Indianapolis-Marion County Public Library and sign up to enjoy spending time reading together during the 2008 November Read-Aloud Program, “Join the Very Hungry Crowd! Read Aloud!”
Inspired by 40th anniversary of the popular children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, this year’s program encourages participants to spend at least four hours reading aloud together throughout the month.
Studies prove that introducing young children to the world of books and language is key to future learning success.
The November Read-Aloud Program is one of the Library’s “Ready to Read” initiatives, designed to inspire and promote the efforts of parents and childcare professionals to actively nurture early literacy development. The goal is to help busy parents easily incorporate reading aloud into their routine through the structure, motivation and fun of a month-long program.
Registration begins November 1 at all IMCPL locations. For more information, call 275-4099.
