Ready, Set, Read!

Ready, Set, Read Family Literacy Series
Helping families put the power of reading in their children’s hands.

Ready, Set, Read is designed to give parents the opportunity to learn and practice techniques that will help to reinforce readiness and literacy skills in children from birth to eight years of age, while increasing the children’s likelihood of future academic success.

A 7-week workshop series provides parents hands-on techniques and offers essential knowledge to help them create positive learning experiences in their home and everyday surroundings.

During the workshops, parents learn how to help their children develop phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading comprehension. They identify and explore individual learning styles for themselves and their child, learn how a child’s brain develops, find out why reading is critical even from birth, and learn how to select age-appropriate books and activities.

Workshop topics include:

• Brain Development and Learning Styles
• The World of Reading: Understanding How Children Learn to Read
• Reading with Your Child
• Reading is Everywhere: Learning through Play and Daily Life
• Helping Your Child Succeed in School
