Fun with books for young children
What is story time?
Story time is a session full of stories, rhymes and songs suitable for 3-5 year old children and their parents/carers.
Story time helps develop:
- A love of books and lifelong use of libraries
- Pre-reading skills and a desire to learn to read
- Listening and language skills
- Cooperative behaviour as part of a group
- Understanding of simple concepts
- Imagination and creativity
When is story time?
Story time is held at 10.30 am during school terms, and runs for approximately thirty minutes.
Story time resumes in February 2012.
