Program Description
Event Details
As we gear up for the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, young readers are invited to see history through the lens of Lauren Tarshis’ I Survived: The American Revolution. We'll meet for one hour for 10 sessions—just the right rhythm to enjoy and complete a few chapters together.
Bring nothing but your curiosity: sit, listen, and enjoy. A copy of the book will be provided to each reader at the first meeting.*
Each session becomes a shared family adventure. We pause periodically for vocabulary exploration, guiding questions, and comprehension checks to support deeper understanding, spark curiosity, and build strong literacy skills. This program is designed for children in grades K-8.
Program runs from January 13- March 17, 2026
Tuesdays, 12:30 PM- 1:30 PM
Free | Registration Required
