IPADS & EARLY LITERACY: Facilitated Classes for Parent & Child
We will continue to offer early literacy classes for parents and children (ages 2-6), using six new iPads purchased with a generous grant from the Senter Fund in Brunswick. In these small, supervised gatherings. we'll show you and your child some of the best "apps" for teaching letters, phonics, and numbers, as well as those that build vocabulary and reading fluency. We also have some great book apps that we'll read together. And you'll have plenty of time to explore the iPad features on your own.
Beginning today, you can come and use the iPads with your child (Tuesdays from 11:30am-12:30pm and Thursdays from 1:00pm-2:00pm) on a first-come first-served basis. We'll be there to help you learn the basics and find the right apps. Or, you can pre-arrange a time for your own iPad "playgroup" ny contacting Roberta Jordan by phone at 443-5141 (ext 25) or by email (rjordan@patten.lib.me.us).
