Bookmates’ Rock & Read workshop @ Bookmates
Mar 26 @ 9:30 am – 3:30 pm

Rock and Read

Bookmates’ Rock & Read is a family learning program based upon the idea that parents are a child’s best teacher.  Participants are encouraged to see the value of reading and literacy in their children’s lives, as well as their own. A hands-on bookmaking session is included.

This will be a fun and creative way to add to your personal family literacy portfolio.

Cost: Training is generously supported by Healthy Child Manitoba.  A $10 fee is charged to cover lunch.

This is a training workshop for adults only. Unfortunately, childcare is not provided. The deadline for registration is March 19. Priority will be given to those living and working in the downtown.
