Scenes from the Movin' and Groovin' dance program Monday, July 8, 2019, at the Cape Girardeau Public Library. Youth Services Coordinator Sharon Anderson said singing and rhyming are early literacy skills for kids to learn. "Rhyming they learn to, you know, hear those little parts of words and put them together and take them apart," Anderson said. She said at least 60 kids were in attendance at the annual event.
