OUR PROGRAMS
At Lectura Lounge, we offer a wide variety of programs dedicated to literacy, multilingualism, and community-building. All of our offerings are free to the community.
Reading Buddies/Compadres
de Lectura
Volunteers read in their dominant language to participants whose primary language is opposite theirs. Build confidence, sharpen listening skills, boost imagination and vocabulary, and make friends! A complimentary light meal is served before each session. Join an upcoming session!
Witty Writers Workshop
A welcoming, cozy gathering for writers, nonwriters, and in-the-closet writers! An award-winning local author and writer for Neighbors of Park City and Neighbors of Heber Valley magazines will facilitate each workshop, which runs for eight weeks. Each witty writer will contribute their work to a published compilation and have the opportunity to participate in a spoken-word performance for our community. Click here to sign up!
¡Divertimos! (Let's Have Fun!)
Drop-in, twice-weekly sessions hosted by native Spanish-speaking activity leaders, featuring Spanish games, conversation, podcasts, and movies—todos en español, por supuesto. Dual Language Immersion students can practice their Spanish throughout the school year, and those wanting to learn Spanish are welcome to join and be immersed!

Marcela Pomadoro, who leads our Wednesday ¡Divertimos! sessions, teaches our Homeschooler Huddle yoga and meditation in Spanish. Classes are on Wednesday at 12:00 p.m. until December 18. Email info@caseyandcharleys.org if you'd like to join!
Benny’s Bookclub
Park City mama Stacey Sutherland and her son, Bennett, share their love of reading, for kids ages 3 to 8, once a month, with an engaging read-aloud and fun book-related activities thereafter. If you're interested in becoming a member of this cool club, shoot Stacey a note at staceydentalhygiene@gmail.com.
Orton-Gillingham classes with Serena
Serena Mueller, owner of Silver Creek Speech Therapy, continues to offer group reading instruction classes for $5 per child (to cover the cost of supplies) at the Lounge. Sessions are held on Mondays at 3:45 p.m., approximately 35 minutes long, and designed for kids in pre-K or early kindergarten. Serena uses the Orton-Gillingham approach, which is a multisensory phonics technique for children learning how to read, spell, and write. If you’re interested in having your child participate, you can contact her at 435-565-1509 or serena@silvercreekspeech.com. Or just show up to the class!
