2013-2014 Every Child Ready to Read
Application to host Every Child Ready to Read Family Workshops in 2013-2014
Every Child Ready to Read Family Workshops is a six week program that involves young children and their parents in learning about the six early literacy skills that help prepare children to be successful in school. Once a week, for six weeks, parents and their children attend an Every Child Ready to Read Workshop. One of the six early literacy skills is highlighted each week and parents have a chance to practice the skill with their child during the 45-minute workshop. They also get a book each week that goes with the skill to take home to keep and use with their child. Fun interactive activities, practical tips, and resources are shared during each session. At the end of the six-week session, each family will have received six books, a book bag, other materials and great information to help prepare their children for school. These materials are available from the Read to Me program at no cost to your library. Workshop scripts and training are also available from the Read to Me program.
