Do you have a toddler or preschooler at home? Help get them ready to read with our interactive and fun early literacy kits. The Every Child Ready to Read® program encourages parents to interact with their children using the five practices of early literacy: singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing. Each kit includes books and activities that promote one of these concepts.
