Skaneateles Library to Host Science of Reading Workshops

The Skaneateles Library is hosting a series of workshops about the "Science of Reading" aimed at providing caregivers the tools to better support beginning and struggling readers. 

Participants will leave with a better understanding of the reading brain and how they can support their students outside of school.  

Skaneateles Central School District staff will be on hand during the sessions to help answer questions. 

Register for the Zoom link or join us in-person at the library through the calendar on SkanLibrary.org.
