Raising Readers Together Club: Virtual Sessions

Families and community partners come together weekly for an hour of fun and relaxing conversation about the power of early reading experiences for young children. During Trying Together’s Raising Readers Together Club, families experience conversations, interactive storytelling, and shared reading opportunities with their children.

Due to COVID-19, the Raising Readers Together Club is being held virtually via Zoom. Wednesday sessions are suitable for tweens and teens. Thursday sessions are suitable for children ages five years old and younger.

To register, contact Cynthia Battle at 412.567.1304 or cynthia@tryingtogether.org.
