Saturday, November 21
2:00pm - 3:00pm

Level up your reading skills with a local athlete!

Does your child need to practice reading in a welcoming and cozy environment with a supportive mentor or get more one-on-one reading time? Come meet high school athletes and read or listen to some stories! The theme for November is family! 

Open to kids in transitional kindergarten through 5th grade. 

Why buddy up to practice reading? Kids learn how to read for fun in a social environment with a positive teen role model. It's also a big confidence booster for emerging readers.
