The Christopher J. Killmurray Building - Gambatese Room

A presentation and discussion led by Allison Goldschlag Reinking, Early Childhood Development expert, from the Central Jersey Family Health Consortium, on tips for building strong readers.

SBPL is pleased to host a presentation and discussion by Allison Goldschlag Reinking, Early Childhood Specialist from the CJFHC Connecting NJ program. Designed for parents/caregivers of young children, this workshop will focus on tips and strategies that lay the foundation for strong reading skills in your child.

By building literacy and language skills early, parents help their child/children be kindergarten-ready, sending them off as they enter school with a love of books and a readiness to learn. School success is built on this foundation as eventually, children move from learning to read to reading to learn.

Space is limited; registration is required. 

Have questions or need more information? Please reach out to our social worker, Lesley Moore, LCSW at 732-329-4000 x 7286 or email: socialworkers@sbpl.info
