Invest in your child's future!

Literacy development starts at home with parents and caregivers serving as a child's first teacher. Raising School Ready Readers offers parents fun ways to engage their 3- to 6-year-old child in literacy play.

Raising School Ready Readers is based on Engaging Families in Children’s Literacy Development created by Scholastic. Sessions focus on developing six core literacy areas that will give your child a head start on school readiness:

Concepts of Print
Phonological Awareness
Letter-Sound Knowledge
Oral Language
Comprehension
Writing

Registration is required here.

AGE GROUP: | Toddlers (1-3 Years) | Adults 18+ |
