What is a “Read-Aloud” Workshop?

On Thursday evening, Leah Davies, Programs Manager and the BookSpring staff visited SafePlace to conduct a Read-A-Loud with mothers residing at SafePlace. During these bilingual trainings, BookSpring staff teach parents how to engage and why it is important to read with their young children. Parents receive free books and leave empowered with the confidence to share  a book with their children.
