The Reading Nook Summer Programs 2010

If you are looking for Reading Programs this summer, you may want to inquire about The Reading Nook's programs for your children. Since Bea is going to be Grade 1 this incoming SY, I'm going to let her take the Beginning Filipino class under Teacher Ricah =)

The Reading Nook is a home-based Children’s Library in Makati City run by a former English Teacher, textbook author and DepEd Consultant. Here, children from ages 2-and up are exposed to the joy of the wonderful world of books through programs that start with developing pre-reading skills to appreciation of children’s literature.
