Sandy
Springs, GA, July 10, 2015 - Every child deserves the chance to learn and thrive in an
environment that is enriched by the latest technology. This year The Toy Emporium has planned a wide variety of educational, entertaining and fun
programs to help children fill their days.
“Bring
your 3-6 year old child every Thursday morning from 10:45-11:30am and listen as
Miss Linda or Miss Sandra spin tales from around the world, incorporating
subtle critical thinking exercises that challenge their young minds,” says
Denise Gary, VP of The Toy Emporium.
Despite
research that indicates the importance of summer reading in preventing children
from losing literacy skills, only 17 percent of parents say reading is a top
summer priority, according to a survey conducted. It also shows that children
spend nearly three times as many hours weekly watching TV or playing video
games as they do reading in the summer.
“Reading
is the best vacation. It takes you places you never dreamed you would visit,
and summer, especially is a time when kids can immerse themselves in the topics
they like best,” said Denise Gary. “Thanks to our weekly reading event, we are
bringing more books to children who need them most and starting them on a
journey to a lifelong love of reading.”
At
the reading event, there may be singing, dancing or silliness – and FREE
organic popcorn. A new “Tales from
Around the World” story will take place every Thursday morning in the store!
Story time is free and is especially perfect for 3-6 year olds. Doors open at
10:35--Hope to see you there!

Gary says, “We use the FlexTIM Critical Thinking Method, which teaches all
children to recognize “what it says”, “what it means,” and “why it matters” when
reading.”
The
ultimate purpose of these events are to encourage kids to read by showing them
that "everybody does it." After all, peer pressure can be used to
achieve positive goals!
