Supporting Parents in Early Literacy through Libraries

The Cortez Public Library is sponsoring a SPELL (Supporting Parents in Early Literacy through Libraries) event.  The program targets families with children under four-years-old who are Montezuma County residents.  If you and your child attends one program your child will receive one board book.  Each family will receive one Cuddleuppet which is a puppet built into a blanket.

We will register participants, present an early literacy tip using the Cuddleuppet, have participants fill out some surveys and sign-up for daily ReadyRosie early literacy tips.

The library’s particular SPELL program is called “Read to Me, 21 Days to Form the Reading Habit” and helps parents establish a regular, daily reading habit in the home.

When: Saturday, February 20, 2016 at 10:00 a.m.

Where: The Cortez Public Library, 202 N. Park Street

Cost: NO COST

Questions: Call the library directly at 970-565-8117.  Please ask for either Eric or Laura.
