WKAR is connecting educational resources to families in mid-Michigan through partnerships with local libraries this summer. The WKAR Library Pop-Up Tour is designed to encourage early literacy and learning outside of the classroom and will feature free children's books, ‘I Feel’ social emotional learning workbooks, Michigan Learning Channel summer learning guides, hands-on crafts, and other WKAR giveaways.
“By partnering with local libraries, we are continuing to support early childhood literacy and school readiness over the summer break by giving parents at home resources to prevent summer learning loss,” said Cheyenne Peters, WKAR Family Engagement Coordinator. “Families are excited when they see our book table, as we are helping to instill a love for reading in our early learners. We offer a wide variety of titles for kids to pick out a book that interests them— because when they get to pick, they're more likely to finish reading it.”
The WKAR Library Pop-up Tour will take place at various locations across Mid-Michigan throughout the summer. View the full schedule below. A printable version can be accessed here.
