Read, Rhyme and Romp: The 3 R’s to Grow a Reader

Early literacy is about getting your child ready to read. There are simple activities parents and care providers can do every day, at home, in the car, on a walk, and certainly at the library, to help. Click here to learn about the skills your child needs to be able to read, and the activities you can do to help.

Parents & caregivers of young children are invited to schedule "Read, Rhyme and Romp" workshops to learn about the role they have in preparing a child to learn how to read. The workshop provides parents & caregivers with ideas for fun activities with books, creative play, songs and rhymes, as well as an understanding of the stages of child development and the early literacy skills your child can start learning from birth.

To schedule a workshop, contact Heather McNeil, Community Youth Services Manager at 541-617-7099, or heatherm@deschuteslibrary.org.

Workshops can be scheduled at the library, or at another location for an existing group, 
such as a preschool, church, or parenting class.
