Baby & Toddler Book Club
Designed for ages 6 - 24 months.
SERIES OF 6 DATES: February 25th, March 4th, March 11th, March 18th, March 25th, April 1st
Not ready to commit to the entire 6 weeks? Check out our Single Class Pass option.
Join us at Recess Play Cafe (208 South Ashley St) for a 6 week series of immersive and hands-on read aloud activities, aimed to foster a love of books, boost early language skills, and provide families with practical tips for teaching early speech, language and literacy skills at home. All activities are led by a licensed speech-language therapist and incorporate evidence based speech-language acquisition strategies. Activities are designed for toddlers who are exploring their first words/phrases, ages ranging from 10 - 24 months, accompanied by their grownups.
Note: these book clubs are designed to be accessible to children with a variety of learning profiles, but your child does NOT need to have a language delay to attend. They are open to ALL children and parents who have an interest in learning how to incorporate books into daily routines.
EACH WEEK:
Introduction of a new story within a lively read aloud experience.
Guided play routine incorporating the thematic story elements (characters, settings, problem, solutions, emotions, etc), providing natural opportunities to practice using vocabulary from the story.
Age appropriate introduction of social emotional concepts such as patience, empathy, resilience, inclusion, friendship, respect, self-regulation, etc.
Thoughtfully designed handouts for continuing the themed literacy and language activities at home.
Opportunity for question/answer with the SLP during & after the session.
Bring your own favorite toy/book/video from home to receive guidance for how to use it to effectively model language.
Option to purchase a play pass with Recess Play Cafe before/after the book club.
Snack and Beverages available for caregivers to purchase from Recess Play Cafe.
A portion of the proceeds from every book club goes directly towards supporting local access to AAC devices (see “Pay if Forward” for more details about your contribution).
