Hooked on books
STRUTHERS — The ability to turn scratches on a page into sounds that eventually morph into words is one that many adults take for granted.
But, for children, that ability is life-changing.
An “Imagine with Us” event Tuesday night at Struthers Elementary School focused on the life-changing potential of reading.
The event, open to 3- and 4-year-old children and their parents, sought to encourage early literacy with story time, crafts, presentations for parents and prizes.
Literacy night is an annual occurrence at Struthers
Elementary School, but Tuesday night marked the first year the school partnered with the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley and the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County.
