The Kokomo Post Kids: Weekly Fun Calendar Aug. 26

We’re here with a new weekly fun calendar, hoping to encourage you and your family to try something new and experience more of what Kokomo has to offer. Here’s something you can do with your kids every day this week! Take a look and tell them we sent you!

Reading can be even more fun when you have a partner! Especially when your partner is a really good listener. Each month at different KHCPL locations the opportunity to read with a pet partner is available for youth of all ages wanting to practice their reading skills. The pet partners are trained therapy animals and they love to read and listen to your stories. This can be a great experience for beginner readers to practice reading to build confidence in their phonics skills and reading speed.
