January 13, 2022

Family literacy activity nights for parents and children ages 3-6.  The Raising School Ready Readers program can help parents prepare their children to succeed in school and gain independence while having fun together as a family.  Sessions focus on developing six core literacy areas: concepts of print, Phonological awareness, letter-sound knowledge, oral language, comprehension and writing.  Kids really love attending these sessions because they get to play games, while spending time with their parents.  Parents are learning and practicing how to help their kids become successful with their reading and writing.  

There will be light refreshments provided at each session and there is child care available for any other children.  Cost is $5 per family.  Registration and payment are due by January 6.  The registration form is available at Mahaska County Extension office, 212 North I Street, Oskaloosa or http://www.extension.iastate.edu/mahaska.  For more information, please contact Suzette Striegel by phone at 641-673-5841 or email striegel@iastate.edu.
