Support for Homeschoolers AND Non-Homeschoolers: The Learning Library’s Summer Programs

Two years ago, I was able to attend an event organized by The Learning Basket and The Learning Library. It was about how to make reading an effective and lasting habit.

I was also able to visit their Katipunan branch and was quite impressed with their collection of books. The kids enjoyed browsing through the books on display. I also had Tim’s reading skills assessed (for free — it was part of the event, yey!).

(You can view more photos here.)

I had originally wanted to enroll Tim for their Reading Advantage Program but I wasn’t able to do so. Right now though, I am considering getting him to join one of their Filipino programs, depending if there is a center near us that has it among their list of services.

As a homeschooling parent, I believe in the importance of support, especially when it comes to our children’s education. The Learning Library’s programs is one way by which parents — both homeschooling and non-homeschooling ones — can receive the kind of support they need to enhance their children’s language skills, among other things.

It is with great pleasure then that I invite you to take a look at The Learning Library’s Summer Programs for 2014:

Below is a brief description of the programs:

THE LEARNING LIBRARY offers 10 unique, fun workshops in Reading, Writing and Filipino for children age 3-16:

• Reading Safari
• Literature-Based Arts & Crafts
• Speak Up, Write Now!
• Digital Photojournalism
• Story Writing, Script Writing
• Beginning Filipino
• Filipino Communication Skills
• Awit at Korido (Ibong Adarna, Florante at Laura)
• I Love Rizal! (Noli Me Tangere, El Filibusterismo)
• Comprehension and Writing Enrichment (in English and Filipino)

All programs aim to develop the love of literature as well as comprehension strategies critical to school success. Students are allowed to bring home books from a library of over 4,000 of the best children’s titles. 

The workshops’ first run will be March 31-May 2, with a second run on May 5-30, 2014. For those who prefer direct teaching, flexible schedules are available.

THE LEARNING LIBRARY has 12 locations in Metro Manila this summer. Details and schedules per branch are posted at www.learninglibraries.com.  For inquiries, call / / . You can also “Like” The Learning Library on Facebook  for updates.

I want to enroll Rysse, too, maybe in the Reading Safari program. Let’s see how it goes! 

How about you? Any plans for your kids this summer? Come share!
