Free Early Literacy Workshop with Amy Ducey of the Stern Center Monday March 18th from 6 pm – 7:30 pm
We are very excited to announce a great opportunity for parents and caregivers of young children in our community to learn more about early literacy. On Monday, March 18th from 6-7:30 pm, Amy Ducey, of the Orton-Gillingham Institute, will lead a free Early Literacy workshop in the Community Room at the Brown Public Library. Attendees of the program will have the opportunity to learn how to help young children be ready to read right from the start. Light refreshments will be provided. No registration is required, but RSVPs to bplyouthlib@gmail.com are helpful if possible. Please note: this program is intended for adults only to attend so that we are able to learn as much as possible in our short time together.
