(06/14/2010)

Submitted by Samantha Cason WVU Extension Service Calhoun County Office The Family Storyteller program is an educational program using children's literature and is built upon the idea of family literacy and parent involvement. There is magic in books. In this program children can meet a blue horse dine with a very hungry caterpillar find a lost duckling ride on a musical bus. The goal of the Family Storyteller program is to enrich parent-child interaction and the home environment. The curriculum is designed to stimulate verbal interaction, create an interest in reading, encourage parent-child reading and provide access to reading materials. A secondary goal is to help strengthen the relationship between parent and child. Each week features a different book and activities. This program will be available during Energy Express this summer. Participants will meet at Calhoun Middle-High School for 6 Mondays, June 21 through July 26 from 10 a.m. to noon. Lunch will be provided. Ages are 3 years to 5 years and older siblings may attend. Parent or caregiver must attend. Call soon to register the program is limited to 10 families. For more information please call the WVU Extension office 304-354-6332.
