First Steps Early Childhood Classes

Description

Ages 3 - 5 years & an Adult. Inspired by her own children’s love of family read-alouds, seasoned First Steps teacher, Sara Callaghan has designed a unique online class for families of preschoolers. Get inspired by her literature picks of longer chapter books that both children and adults can enjoy. Each week Sara will read a chapter or two of a different book aloud to introduce families to the stories and characters, followed by a time to reflect on or ask questions about what we’ve read. Families are encouraged to continue the discussion at home and to seek out and read the books your child seems most interested in. Some of the benefits of reading aloud with your child are increased vocabulary, increased attention span, encouraging imagination, strengthening cognition, providing a safe way to explore strong emotions, and most of all, for bonding and pure enjoyment. Children are welcome to draw or dance while we read, or to cuddle in their grownup’s lap or with a favorite stuffed toy or blanket. If your child loves picture books and you’re ready to try longer stories, this class is for you! Instructor: Sara Callaghan. 6 classes. Scholarship recipients pay $10.
