Children ages birth to five and their families are invited to explore playful early learning activities, pick up fun prizes, and get great ideas for ways to sing, talk, and read at home.

DC Public Library is excited to celebrate STAR (Singing, Talking and Reading) with children ages birth to 5 and their families at STAR Days!

Drop in anytime throughout the program and pick up your STAR Days Passport to explore a world of fun activities related to:

Singing: Singing slows down words so children can hear and learn all the small sounds that make up language.
Talking: Talking with your child helps them understand how stories are structured and how to have give-and-take conversations.
Reading: Incorporating reading into your family routine helps your child stay excited about books, reading, and learning.
Writing: Writing and drawing builds your child's motor skills and helps them understand that printed letters stand for spoken words.
Playing: Incorporating play into your learning routine helps your child understand that reading and learning can be fun!

Take home fun prizes and also great ideas for incorporating STAR into your everyday routine. When you practice STAR with your little one, you know you’re setting them up to be confident and joyful learners.
