Parents’ workshop Thursday

Parents are invited to learn some new ways of helping their pre-readers and children who are already reading during a workshop Thursday night in the Baker High School library.

The program, designed for parents of kindergartners and  4-year-old preschoolers, is scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to 7p.m., Susan Yen, Baker School District Parent Involvement coordinator, said in a press release.

Parents will learn how to help their children develop fine motor skills needed for writing, using scissors and coloring, Yen said. Information also will be presented about the programs at the Baker County Library and parents will learn hands-on reading activities they use to help their children at home.

Pizza, salad, pop and cookies will be served. Parents are asked to call the kindergarten office at 541-524-2651 by Tuesday to help Yen plan for space, materials, and food.
