Learning to read begins at birth

Parents can begin at birth to help children learn important pre-reading skills. The library can suggest what to read and how to read to young children so they get the most from the experience. Learn how to use books, programs and other resources at your library to prepare your children for reading success.

Introducing
Ready, Set, Kindergarten!
Family Workshops

Ready, Set, Kindergarten! Family Workshops is a program that involves young children (ages birth to 6) and their parents/caregivers in learning the early literacy skills that help to prepare children for reading success in school.
Each week, for three weeks, different early literacy skills will be highlighted during a 45-minute workshop. Parents will:
Have a chance to practice the skill with their child.
Take home a book to keep and read with their child.
Learn fun interactive activities and practical tips to use at home.
By the end of the session, each family will have received great books, a book bag, a variety of storytime materials, and great information to help prepare their children for school!

Keep this portion as a reminder of workshop dates.
