Hayward event to highlight importance of literacy

  • 2019-05-21
Hayward families who are interested in encouraging their son or daughter to develop a lifelong love of reading are invited to register for a workshop that will be focused on the written word

Open to families with a child going in to pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, or transitional kindergarten, the organizers of the ‘2nd Annual Storyland: A Family Literacy Festival’ feel that literacy is a family affair, and they encourage up to two parents or guardians to attend with their child. There will be programming for both children and adults, and families can choose between an early and late morning session.

The kids who attend the festival will be welcome to enjoy a reading in English, Mandarin, and Spanish, and they will all be going home with some free Books and an assortment of activities and Promotional Products that can aid them in developing their reading skills. The adults in the crowd will also be encouraged to foster their own reading skills, and will learn ways they can help to prevent the summer learning slump.

Depending on which session is selected, the group will be treated to either a free breakfast or lunch, and a raffle draw has also been planned. There is no cost to participate, and the event is open to families from Alameda County.

Set for Saturday, June 1, the venue for the occasion can be found at 313 West Winton Avenue.
