CLOVER stands for Children Learn on Very Early Reading. Two weeks ago, Junior Infant parents met up to discuss the importance of reading to their children. We talked about the benefits of reading and about giving children the gift of the love of reading. We also had a talk from Lucan librarian Catherine Gallagher about all the services and classes available in Lucan Library. Last Thursday, we had our first reading session in the Junior Infant classrooms. The children were so happy to see their parents become the teachers. The parents did a super job of getting the most out of a story book. They talked about the author, the illustrations and asked the children to predict what might happen next in the story. They children talked, laughed and answered questions about their stories. We are looking forward to our next session this Thursday.
