Beginning Saturday, May 14, at 4:00-5:30 p.m., Almaden Branch Library is offering a free 4-week introduction to reading the Farsi language for children ages 8 to 13. After this first session, the program will continue for 3 more sessions: May 21, May 28, and June 4, all at 4:00-5:30 p.m. The program will take place in the library's Program Room.

The program’s goal is decoding and word recognition. Children will be instructed to match consonant and vowel sounds to appropriate letters and read simple one-syllable words. Storytelling and playing games are part of the program to improve comprehension and create a fun learning environment.

Pre-registration is required. Please register in person at the Almaden Library Information Desk or by calling (408) 808-3040. Note: Space is limited to 10 children for the entire program. If a child misses the first session, however, they may register prior to the second session if there are still openings.
