Literacy Month

Throughout the month of September 

Join us as we read our way through September! Every year, September is recognized as Literacy Month! Here at The Pretend City, we’re inviting local authors and Pretend City Brain Builders to expand our minds by reading and engaging with us in reading rich and high- quality literature! Reading helps lay the foundation for strong language competence, stimulates curiosity, develops focus, and so much more!

Grown-up Tip: Learning the skills to read and write comes long before children enter school. Developing literacy skills begins at birth through everyday interactions like sharing books, telling stories, singing songs, talking to one another, or pointing out and naming objects. Incorporate songs, stories, and conversations into your nightly routine before bed!
