Or are they just learning phonics sounds and need more practice to build blending skills? Then this program is for them! Schedule a 20-minute session for your child with Ms. Chloe to work together with your child on reading and blending practice. You're welcome to bring your own book or I'll pull some books that will work for their range. While parents/ guardians don't have to attend, they must remain on the children's floor while their child is attending their session. If you no call/no show for two appointments in a row, all other appointments for the month will be cancelled to make room for patrons who are waiting for spots.

Reading Time with Ms. Chloe is a free, one-on-one literacy support session for children at the Durham County Library. Kids can practice reading aloud, work on phonics, and build blending skills with a supportive librarian. To attend, you must register online in advance for a specific twenty-minute time slot. You can bring your child's favorite book from home, or Ms. Chloe will select titles tailored to your child's current reading level. While parents do not sit in on the session, you are required to remain on the children's department floor the entire time. Parking is available in the library deck. This weekday afternoon program is an excellent opportunity to give your emerging reader extra encouragement and targeted practice without the pressure of a classroom setting.
