A free series of one-hour meetings for parents of young children who are learning to read is coming to Glendale.
The Speech-Language Pathology Program at Midwestern University’s College of Health Sciences-Arizona, in partnership with the Glendale Library, will host the monthly series starting in March. The Family Literacy Night Program, for parents with their kids ages 2 to 4, will be a series of six one-hour meetings through October at both the Heroes Regional Park Library and the Glendale Foothills Library.
The first installments will go from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday, March 4 at the Heroes Regional Park Library, 6075 N. 83rd Ave., and on Thursday, March 7 at the Glendale Foothills Library, 19055 N. 57th Ave.
The free family-centered program aims to educate parents of children ages 2 to 4 years old by offering tips regarding shared reading, demonstrating how to make literacy engaging and fun for children, and providing education modeling on the strategies taught. The sessions will be offered in English and Spanish.
