All Day Session

• Ages: 11–14
• Instructors: Leah Ruekberg [ bio ], Wendy Low [ bio ] & Bill Schoff [ bio ]
• Full Day, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

You love books, and you want to share that love with younger children. You like that special warmth that comes from small faces in rapt attention to your voice. Perhaps you plan to baby-sit or work with young children in the future, and want to learn more about engaging techniques for reading and storytelling that encourage them to grow up to be readers.

If so, you are a great candidate for Reading Buddies! This innovative program makes use of storytellers, writers, and experts in child care and literacy to make you the person every child wants to hear from. Monday will focus on various reading techniques and on developing the added skills of an oral storyteller.

The rest of the week, you will learn techniques to apply at Asbury daycare center, where you will read to individuals and small groups of preschoolers. You will choose a story and develop a special dramatic delivery for Friday. You will also create your own short children’s book to show your children.

On Friday afternoon at 3 p.m., invited family and friends will get to see your work.
