(Press Release) — Summer is still on, and we are super excited to invite you to the Northern Marianas Humanities Council’s Motheread/Fatheread CNMI summer class.
Join us on a free learning adventure at your friendly Joeten-Kiyu Public Library!
We are hosting family literacy classes at the library this summer and adding a virtual class, so families can get a feel of what to expect from our classes.
We will be teaching strategies, techniques, sharing books, and activities to help strengthen family bonds and empower our CNMI families to learn and grow in a supportive literacy environment.
Moreover, the lessons taught during our classes will help parents be reading role models for their children.
We are offering the classes on the following days:
• Friday, July 23, 5 p.m.-6 p.m. onsite at Joeten-Kiyu Public Library
• Monday, July 26, 7:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. (virtual only)
• Wednesday, July 28, 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. onsite at Joeten-Kiyu Public Library
• Friday, July 30 at 5 p.m.-6 p.m. onsite at Joeten-Kiyu Public Library
For participants, we will be giving daily raffle prizes of books, gift certificates, Pokemon swag bags, and so much more!
This is a free adult family literacy class suitable for parents with children ages 5 years old to 11years old. Parents are welcome to bring their children.
We will be conducting classes in the Children of Our Homeland Center at the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, and classes will be taught by a Certified Motheread/Fatheread CNMI Adult Teacher.
