Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 12:03PM Hands On Mississippi Promotes Early Literacy Skills for Children of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Gulfport, MS Saturday, April 16, 2011- With great anticipation Hands On Mississippi presents the first annual “Hands On Reading Party.” This annual event promotes a love of reading and engages the entire family in a fun afternoon of story-related art projects, literature readings, and a free copy of the book to take home and share.
Hands On has partnered with several businesses including Baria Law Firm, Ocean Springs Lumber, Sliver Slipper Casino, and Christ Episcopal Church, and with several community leaders to purchase over 100 copies of the featured book Click, Clack, Moo Cows Who Can Type to be given FREE to attendees at the Reading Parties.
Please join us 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 16th at Barnes and Nobles in Gulfport, MS. Our guest reader is Megan Gray, GMM Anchor with WLOX. Come early to participate in our MOO-tastic art project and receive your FREE copy of the book.
Click, Clack, Moo is a 2001 Caldecott award winner. This book, already considered a classic children's tale, starts from the point of view of role reversals. Children take objects or animals and make them be like humans. The typing cows on a farm lead readers through an entertaining and educational journey.
