For the Record

Did you know that children are expected to enter kindergarten knowing 20 letters and 10 of their sounds?

“A Primer for Parents” is a free, four-part workshop series in New Haven offered Digital Literacy for Early Learners to help parents engage in educating their children, age birth to 5 years old. This engagement should help them to start kindergarten with basic skills needed in school.

The workshops will cover:

• child development and what to expect at different stages;
• simple ways to encourage learning;
• how to make the most out of reading time with your child;
• how to find teachable moments in your child’s play;
• what to do with your child when you turn off the TV;
• use of library resources and important early learner websites, with emphasis on Pre-K.

Concepts for Adaptive Learning (CfAL), in collaboration with the New Haven Free Public Library, invites parents to attend the four workshops, all running from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on:  Sept. 22^nd, Sept. 29^th, Oct. 6^th and Oct. 27^th. Each of the four workshop is on the 2nd Floor “Young Minds Program Room” at the New Haven Free Public Library, 133 Elm Street.
