Toddler Storytime!
Check out Orono's StoryWalk!
Storywalks were created as a way to combine literacy, physical activity, and fresh air. Visit Webster Park to follow our current story, The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever! by Rebecca Rule and illustrated by Jennifer Thermes. At each stop you'll find a page from the story and activity to do. We plan to rotate new stories in once every season. Read about our story walk in the BDN here!
The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, or toddler. The goal? To read 1,000 books before starting kindergarten! This program is designed to help parents prepare their children for school. Children get ready to read years before they begin their formal education. The most effective way to get your child ready to learn is to read to them. You are your child’s first teacher! Click to learn more about our new reading challenge!
