We have incorporated a component called “Souns” that was created by Brenda Erickson from Counterpane School. Souns engages children to experience the sound a letter makes with the symbol that is represented. This hands-on approach is another way to make an early literacy connection with your child. Thanks to the Rotary Club of Lake Spivey for their generous donation for the Souns® materials. Learn more about Souns® at www.souns.org. You must register in advance. However, you need only register one time for the entire series. The current series will run through October 9th. Space is limited. This program is for children ages newborn-20 months. Due to the concern for the safety of these young children, older children, up to age 6, may not accompany the Baby Talk attendees. Alternate arrangements must be made for older children beamengel@claytonpl.org Kids, Parents and Caregivers Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:00 -0400 Bea Mengel; 770-473-3850 beamengel@claytonpl.org Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:00 -0400 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 11:00 -0400 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:24 -0400 Headquarters Meeting Room 9df789aa142bb87c2173f3db2c1e0f04--77e48378:11b754696d3:-7ffc http://www.claytonpl.org/calendar/ViewItem.html?cal_item_id=581&dtwhen=2454721 Kids ages 6 years and up may participate in this biweekly Scrabble event.
