Market Days Events- Trikes for Tykes
Please join us Saturday the 19th at 1 pm during Market Days for the silliest bike race ever!
We are working with the Teddy Bear Fund to bring you Trikes For Tykes- adults making fools of themselves riding Plasma Cars through a goofy and challenging obstacle course in Bicentennial Square ( directly behind the store). All the silliness is for a very worthy cause. The Teddy Bear Fund helps underpriveleged children throughout Merrimack County providing clothing, toys and special events. throughout the year. The Teddy Bear Fund is a grass-roots, all- volunteer not-profit organization that depends on fundraising and donations to serve hundreds of families. Many of these children fall through the cracks of traditional service agencies. So come join the fun! Imagination Village and many other sponsors will put their racing helmets on- and we need you to cheer us on!

Keep Your Child READING This Summer!!
It has been proven that students that don't read over the summer lose an average of two to three months in reading skills, while those who keep reading experience gains. Most of the libraries in the area towns are sponsoring some kind of reading programs, throughout the summer, for children to get involved in. The Concord Public Library is having a wonderful summer reading experience called "G'Day for Reading", that I would highly recommend.
Most importantly, make sure that your child is reading material that is appropriate to their reading level. One easy way to see if that "just right" book has been selected is to try the "Five Finger Method." Turn to any page in the book and have the child begin to read. Each time they make an error, put up a finger. If they make more than 5 errors, then that book is probably too hard for them and you should look to find an easier one.
The more your child reads, the easier it will be for him. 30 minutes a day during the summer can make a world of difference when school begins again. It's free, it's fun and you can travel anywhere in a book!
