Boogie Down Storytime is a family-friendly experience that cultivates early literacy awareness through joyful reading experiences. Storytime is led by our Storytime Manager Wes and generally lasts about 45 minutes.

Interactive read-aloud of a new or classic children's book by an author, illustrator, or educator
Q&A so young readers can engage directly with the reader
Opportunities for young readers to thrive and learn from repetition with rituals and routines like mindful breathing that build social-emotional skills
Questioning and discussion activities that build community and celebrate the contributions young readers make to conversations about books, reading, and the world
Welcome shoutouts to honor and acknowledge each individual child in our community
Active time for young readers to move, cultivate bodily awareness, and develop motor skills through yoga poses inspired by that week's book, led by Bronx yoga teacher Jazy Cintron

How to Join Storytime

During the month of October, there are two ways for families to join Boogie Down Storytime:

IN PERSON AT MOTTLEY KITCHEN: A limited number of families can join us on the roof at Mottley Kitchen to experience Boogie Down Storytime in person for $10 per family. Face-covering and social-distancing requirements will be in effect to ensure the safety of our community. Space is extremely limited, and spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Authors and readers will NOT be joining in person unless otherwise noted, but rooftop attendees will be able to see and hear them via projection. Refunds will be provided if the rooftop broadcast is cancelled due to bad weather or health and safety requirements. Thank you to Bent on Learning for donating yoga mats for rooftop attendees.
