Raising a Reader

Raising A Reader is a national program designed to educate parents and caregivers about the importance of early literacy skills and how they can help build these skills in their young children to help them enter school ready to learn. Families who participate in the program receive 12 high-quality children's books to build their home libraries and are connected to local resources! 

This is an 8-week series. Please plan on attending all 8 sessions.
