EVERY CHILD READY TO READ

Wednesday, June 26
7:00 to 8:30pm
at the Athens Library

Whether a child is four days old or four years old, it is not too early or too late to start building early literacy skills.  Every Child Ready to Read is a nationally recognized, research-based training program that promotes the practices of singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing to prepare children to be ready to learn to read when they reach school-age.  Amy King, Athens County Public Libraries, Youth Services Coordinator, will share this information, free books, and conversation about developing language skills in the very young.
