READ TO ME FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAM
The Flin Flon Public Library is pleased to partner with the Read to Me Family Literacy Program to offer their Read to Me program in the library’s children’s room (located in the basement).
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Read to Me is for preschool children, aged 2-5, and a parent/caregiver. Younger siblings may also attend.
Read to Me includes themed activities, crafts, books, playtime, and a small snack.
Guest speakers sometimes join to discuss things like nutrition, fire safety, and dental health.
Read to Me is free for everyone, and registration is required to attend. You may sign up for more than one day if you choose.

Call/Text Laurence at 204-271-2890 to register. The next session begins October 2024 and you can start anytime.
1000 BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN
NOTE: You can sign up anytime for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten.
The 1000 Books Before Kindergarten challenge is simple: read books to your child, with the goal of reading 1,000 books before kindergarten. This might sound like a lot, but keep in mind that reading one book a day to your child adds up to 365 books per year.
Reading has been associated as an early indicator of academic success, and numerous studies estimate that as many as one in five children have difficulties learning to read. Before public school begins in Kindergarten, parents and caregivers are the first education providers during the critical years of 0-5 years old.
