Supporting Your Child’s Reading Development
Parents and caregivers, do you want to help your child get ready for and succeed at reading but aren’t sure where to start? We’ve got you covered! Join us at the library for two evenings of discussions with UW-Eau Claire professors about science-based strategies for supporting your child’s reading development at home.
The first session: Early Literacy
- Monday, June 24, from 6-7:30 p.m. | Carnegie Room (on the first floor)
- How to support your child’s early literacy skills between the ages of 0-6 years
- Led by Dr. Angela Jones and her student researchers
Dr. Angela Jones and her student researchers will discuss their model “Read with TLC,” a comprehensive resource designed to help you engage in activities that will effectively prepare your child for reading.
The second session: Emergent Reading
- Wednesday, June 26, from 6-7:30 p.m. | Riverview Room (on the third floor)
- How to support your child’s emergent reading skills between grades K-5
- Led by Dr. Susan Tily and her student researchers
Registration is not required for either session. If you are an early childhood educator, completion certificates are available upon request for continuing education purposes.
“We provide practical strategies, engaging activities, and tips for cultivating a love for language and literacy in young children,” Dr. Jones says. “Whether through playful interactions, immersive experiences, or purposeful interventions, you play a pivotal role in fostering your child’s literacy skills.” We hope you will join us!
