Nora-2/12/10-LINC

Kyla, Naomi, Viviane, and I made our first visit to LINC (literacy incorporated).  On our way over to the office, we were confused as to what we would actually be doing.  When we got to the office this visit turned out to be more of a meeting with the coordinators of LINC.

We learned that this organization’s goal is to promote literacy at an early age for children.  They told us about different activities and programs that are done.  These programs give them time to read before they start school, and allow them to get excited about reading.  Deborah Mulrain, (our contact person) told us about a program called, Pajama Night.  On this night we play games with the children, and then read to them.  This is supposed to encourage reading before they go to sleep.  We are hoping to go and participate in this program on Thursday.  There was also a program called the Lobby Reading Program, where we read to kids in small groups, this event takes place in lobbys of different buildings.

This meeting got us excited to start working with LINC over the course of this project, and we can’t wait to go to our first visit.  I am looking forward to helping this organization in the time ahead, and I’m sure this will be a great experience for all of us.
