DAI announces Story Time: We need your help. Over the summer, the DAI started a Story Time programme that was a terrifi c success. The children, many of whom came every week, loved the stories and so did the parents. (Truth be told, so did the readers!)
So, due to popular demand, we’re going to launch CS21 Story Time, held in two locations. We’ll be doing Story Time at the Yarmouk Culture Centre on set Wednesday afternoons for all the kids in the neighbourhood (and anyone else who wants to come). We’ll also have Story Time at Amricani Cultural Centre on set Saturday afternoons. The schedule for both is shown below.
Of course, this means we need 32 volunteer readers.
Will you be one of them? Ideally, the book will be read twice,
once with minimal interruptions, followed by a more interactive reading. The fi rst reading is designed to help kids get com-fortable listening to stories. The second reading, with questions and prompts like “what happens next?,” “what do you think she sounds like?,” and “why did he do that?,” promotes the development of criti-cal thinking, creativity, and communica-tion skills. Most important, we want both the kids and the reader to have fun.
It’s good for children to hear lots of different voices, so if you have an hour to spare one Saturday or Wednesday, please volunteer. You can email [email protected]; mailto:[email protected] and let us know when you can’t do it. You can also let me know if you have a favourite children’s book you want to read. If not, we have a pretty good selec-tion you can choose from in the Reading Room.
On behalf of all the children who will enjoy Story Time, thanks for your support.
