The importance of storytime

 
Come to Storytime at the East Lyme Public Library. Not only is storytime entertaining, it is also a great way to build your child's early literacy skills. In order to make reading a family activity, we invite parents, grandparents and caregivers to participate. During storytime we read books, sing, dance, play percussion instruments, and end with playtime.

Here are just a few of the many benefits of these activities:
*Reading stories aloud encourages print motivation. Children who enjoy stories are motivated to learn to read.
*Singing develops phonological awareness by helping children hear the words that are made up of smaller sounds.
*Dancing is great exercise and it also develops gross motor skills.
*Playing percussion instruments teaches children rhythm which helps children learn to think spatially.
*Playing with toys with other children encourages oral communication. When children play "unplugged" they are using their imaginations and learning how to interact with people.
*Children who associate the library with fun are more likely to become lifelong library users. 


Come to all-ages storytime at the East Lyme Public Library on Mondays and Fridays at 10:00 am.  We also offer Baby Lapsit Storytime programs and programs designed for 2 and 3 year-olds and 4 & 5 year-olds. We even offer bilingual Spanish and Engish storytime on Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
