Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.
BRM Public Relations
Coordinator Lora B. Englehart said that many families participate in Read
Aloud year after year. The
Zerbey family is one example. Jason, a stay-athome dad, first brought
his three-year-old son,
Westen, to Read Aloud.
Westen loved Read-Aloud
and looked forward to coming every week. When son
Isaac, was born, the Zerbeys came as a threesome.
As Isaac grew older, he became restless, and Jason

learned to sit still during
story time. Jason advises
parents not to give up if
their child doesn’t adapt
immediately to all the elements of the program.
With time, the child will
adjust and reap all the benefits of Read Aloud.
Books to be read on upcoming Thursdays are: Feb.
5: “Lines that Wiggle” by
Candace Whitman; Feb. 12:
“Extra Yarn” by Mac Barnett;
Feb. 19: “Charlotte Jane Battles Bedtime” by Myra Wolfe;
Feb. 26: “Ribbit!” by Rodrigo
Folgueira; March 5: “Tap
the Magic Tree” by Christie Matheson and March 12:
“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle
A special Read-Aloud
program will be held on
