Hello families! CNS is so excited to offer three parent workshops this year! This year we have focused on developing our literacy curriculum, and are working with Dr. Jen Scoggin who is a literacy consultant and author. Her website to learn more about her and her work: https://trustingreaders.com/

In addition to doing PD with the staff, we are also asking her to do three parent workshops on literacy. Jen is an incredible expert in her field and we are so fortunate to have her! For ease these workshops will be virtual, and the first one will be 1/14 at 7:30.

Virtual link to follow, description of workshop below!

Workshop #1: As parents, often one of our greatest joys is sharing books with our children. Children’s positive experiences with text from a young age have the power to set the stage for future confident literacy success. In this first workshop, we will explore the connections between emotions and reading, the importance of staying child-centered and what it means to start to build an identity as a reader. In addition, tips for feedback, addressing mistakes and setting up literacy opportunities in your home will be shared.
