Course Description:

Come join us as we read some of our FAVORITE children’s books! This 30-minute class will NOT have any homework outside of class time. We will read picture books, short stories, comics, classic children’s books, fairytales (traditional & contemporary), and even some spunky comedic books (think Dav Pilkey’s Dumb Bunnies). Mrs. Alicia will lead each class, but the Thorson kids will rotate in, sharing their favorite stories, too! As the semester continues, we will welcome students to share their favorite stories, giving them the opportunity to grow reading fluency and develop public speaking skills. Kids will not be FORCED to read, but encouraged, as they grow comfortable with our group.

Look at this class as an opportunity to enjoy all kinds of children’s books, make new friends, and learn to love reading! Developing confidence in public speaking may be an added bonus. 😉

**Disclaimer: If you only want your child reading classic literature, this is NOT the class for you, as we embrace comical & goofy works here, too. **
