Catholic Charities Community Program Services recently started their three-part series of Pajama Storytime at the Malcolm X Day Care Center in Corona, Queens. Early Reading with Pajama Storytime is such a wonderful initiative for families in the community. Parents were taught the importance of establishing a reading routine with children at an early age to increase cognitive functions, highlighting the benefits of Early Reading with Pajama Storytime. Families later enjoyed an interactive art activity, where they crafted a caterpillar using various color circles to be used as a reading chart tracker. To conclude the workshop, children listened to a reading of “Eating the Alphabet” by Lois Ehlert, demonstrating how it encourages literacy. Participants went home with a copy of the book, Target gift cards and cozy pillows and blankets (perfect for storytime at home!) Overall, everyone enjoyed participating in Early Reading with Pajama Storytime. This workshop is funded in part by the Maternity & Early Childhood Foundation.
