This is a reminder that the Usborne Book Fair and Partners in Reading evening talk are coming up! The dates for the book fair are as follows:
Monday, November 26 - noon - 4 pm
Tuesday, November 27 - 8:15 am - 4 pm, 6 - 8:30 pm
Wednesday, November 28 - 8:15 - 9:30 am
In conjunction with the book fair, we also have the Partners in Reading talk with Linda O'Reilly from 6:30-7:30 pm on Tuesday, November 27. She will speak on how you can be a partner with your child in learning to read and establishing a lifelong love of reading. Although the talks are designed for parents and their children, we have also been able to secure childminding for the event.
Linda O’Reilly is passionate about literacy and brings a wealth of knowledge and insights to her workshops. Linda spends her time consulting with schools and teachers who are changing their literacy practices and currently works as a lead consultant for Nelson Literacy BC, a new Language Arts resource. She also helped create the Adolescent Literacy Network in partnership with Simon Fraser University.
