📚🌞 Summer Story Time is being held across the district this June. Join one or many as CHCCS teachers read aloud to children. Free books are given to those who show up.

Story time matters! Why?

📚Self-selection of books is important. When children choose their own books, it increases motivation and engagement.
📚 Reading just 10 books over the summer can prevent “summer slide” in literacy!
📚 Gathering together also strengthens home-school connections between families and educators.

Dates, times and locations vary, so be sure to check out the graphics for details for ALL the Summer Story Times.

We hope to see you there! 👋
