Library Academy for Educators: May 2022
This month we are celebrating the JaxKids Book Club! Rising Kindergarteners will receive a set of books of their very own to build their home libraries. Inspired by the JaxKids Book Club our theme for this month is We Love the Library. We’re building the pre-literacy skills of print awareness and print motivation as we support an interest in books and enjoyment of reading activities.
