Ready to Read Early Literacy OutreachReady to Read is an Early Literacy Outreach which brings the first essential skills of reading to preschool aged children (ages 3-5). Preschoolers in child care centers or Head Start classrooms are introduced to the joys of reading by an Outreach representative that visits the children for story time. Following the reading session, picture books are given to both the children and their caregivers to extend the benefits of early literacy by incorporating books into everyday life.The program targets children who are unable or are not taken by their caregivers to visit the library. It helps to foster skills and emphasize concepts needed for school readiness which they may otherwise lack when attending school for the first time.
