Connecting with Literature – A Parent Workshop
Wednesday, Oct. 8 @ 7:00 pm

Quick--
who’s your favorite Bone character?
isn’t there a book about Nicholas Flamel?
who is Nicholas Flamel, anyway?
did Satchel Paige really name his pitches?
who are the Sinisteeds?

Don’t know the answers? That’s ok. If you’re interested in using what your kids are reading to make a connection with them, that’s a great starting point.

What we read is a window to who we are. This is as true of children as it is of adults. But our kids’ growing independence in their reading choices can often leave parents at a loss.

The CHMS Library invites all parents to come together to bridge that gap. In this series of monthly meetings, we’ll discuss topics raised by a range of books popular with your children. Find out:

• what’s popular in the library now and why;

• what our kids’ reading habits may say about them (and us);

• how a little more knowledge of children’s literature goes a long way with your kids; and

• why all of this matters.

Please join Steve Madden in the CHMS Library for our first meeting on Wednesday, October 8, from 7:00 to 8:00 pm. Please RSVP to steven.madden@cesu.k12.vt.us, or call 434-7962.
