Spark the imagination of a child in your life by participating in an upcoming workshop hosted by the Grundy County Imagination Library, Rotary Club of Grundy County and Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation.
The free event will be 8:30 a.m.–noon, Monday, March 25, at the Tracy City First United Methodist Church, 105 16th St., Tracy City.
Led by Mitchell Korn, the workshop is designed for parents, caregivers and educators focusing on creative and interactive ways to engage a child in the love of reading.
Korn is a nationally recognized arts education expert who has also developed arts education and organizational strategic plans for dozens of arts, cultural and educational organizations. He is an adjunct professor at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt. The Wall Street Journal has called Korn a “one-man arts education industry.”
The workshop will cover a wide spectrum of topics, including musical and dramatic approaches to reading, visualization, repetition, parallel arts and crafts activities, and how to use music from radio, television and CDs to tell stories and boost listening skills. Korn’s primary emphasis will be on equipping attendees with skills and strategies designed to maximize a child’s engagement during reading time.
Childcare will be available for children ages 8 and under; for more information or to preregister for childcare, call Emily Partin, Grundy County Family Resource Center, (931) 592-4372.
