Small reading wolves say goodbye: summer break until September!

Small reading wolves say goodbye: summer break until September!

The summer break is approaching, and that means for the crawling group "Little Reading Wolves" in the Pritzwalk city library: no meeting in July and August. The last time the little book lovers and their accompanying persons gathered on June 30 from 9.30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Parents and grandparents take this opportunity to talk about the first reading and suitable books for children from 0 to 3 years. "We launched this group in January 2025 to offer parents and their children a space for exchange of experiences and joint learning," says Cindy Eckert from the Network Healthy Children Prignitz, which supports the event. The children have the opportunity to explore the library, while the big ones can be advised and discuss how important reading reads for binding between parents and child.

The first appointment after the summer break is already certain: On September 15 from 9.30 a.m. to 12 p.m. An exciting innovation awaits the participants in September: the crawling group will also take place in the afternoon, with the first afternoon meeting on September 29 from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. So the families have even more flexibility during their visits.

regular meetings and content

The meetings of the "little reading wolves" always take place on the last Monday of a month, which allows parents to establish a regular rhythm. In 2025, the following other dates are already in the pipeline:

• 13. October, 9.30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• 10. November, 9.30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• 24. November, 2.30pm to 4pm
• 15. December, 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The "little reading wolves" not only offer an opportunity for the little ones to playfully exchange ideas with each other, but they also promote contact between the parents. In this way you can learn from each other and pass on experience, whether it is about practical tips or the selection of suitable children's books that support language development.

A look beyond the borders of the city library

Similar crawling group formats are also available in other regions, such as in Berlin, where the groups offer the possibility that toddlers can act in a protected room. An atmosphere with calming music and gentle light ensures that the families feel comfortable. These concepts show how important the exchange for parent-child binding is and that even the focus is no longer just the focus, but also gaining experience in contact with the same age.

The "little reading wolves" prove that reading and reading aloud play a central role in early childhood. If you are interested in the group, you can contact the Pritzwalk city library on 03395/302573, or get more information from the Network Healthy Children at 03395/4017287 via Cindy Eckert.

We look forward to many exciting reading hours from September!
