Read and sing aloud with your family Timberland Regional Library ofers early learning program PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Nes- tled comfortably between two literary birthdays — Dr. Se- uss’s on March 2 and Beverly Cleary’s on April 12 — Tim- berland Regional Library’s Family Read & Sing Aloud returns with a robust line-up of programs. The program focuses on children from infancy to grade 3, but everyone is welcome to join in the fun. This TRL tra- dition grew out of the proven connection between learning pro¿ciency and the early child- hood experience of having been read to and having sung songs aloud with others. Beginning March 2, fam- ilies, teachers and child-care providers can pick up program materials at any Timberland li- brary, enter a drawing for priz- es and start reading and singing together, anywhere and every- where. Each library will draw a winner for a backpack ¿lled with books chosen especially for the winning family or class- room. An activity that began last year and will continue this year is “Sing to your Librarian Week,” where children are in- vited to sing a nursery rhyme, short song or the ABC song to a librarian at their library any- time during the week of March 21 to 26 to receive a small prize. Year after year, Timberland families attest to the bene¿ts “My ¿rst born was able to read before kindergarten, and is an excellent reader now!” “It has made my son want to learn to read.” “The kids are becoming Monday, March 21 to Satur- day, March 26, All Day – “Sing to Your Librarian Week” Raymond Timberland Library Submitted photo A coloring page of the Naselle Timberland Regional Library. passionate about what we read!” “We did this mainly for our three year-old, but … our 18 month-old…has started singing along and dancing.” “We are checking out more sing along stories and having more fun reading together.” More information is avail- able on the TRL website.
