Read First! Comes in First!
By July Douglas, Family Program Specialist
Read First! is in full swing this fall. Tarkio and Mountain View have finished their month-long celebrations of family reading, and Cuba and La Plata are getting ready to kick off Read First! month. The big news is that lots of planning paid off. The response has been extremely positive!
I'm already writing up a feature story on some very neat things for next month's Passages.
Cuba
Cuba will launch Read First! month with family fun and prizes on October 27 at Cuba High School from 5:30-7:30pm. Two READ from the START programs will also take place in November in Cuba. The programs are free, but registration is required.
Nov. 10 & 24 at 6 pm at Holy Cross Elementary School
Nov. 13 & 20 at 6pm at Cuba Head Start
A Read First! Workshop will be held on November 18 at 6pm at All Aboard Learning Center in Cuba. This workshop is open to the public and free of charge. Join us for a fun, one-hour workshop where you will learn fresh ideas for sharing books with young children. To register for any of these programs, call Laura at 573-885-2534.
