Upcoming Event
September 15 at 8pm EDT: Routine Readers
Join us for our upcoming session of our new “Routine Readers” series on building habits and routines that build confidence. Our next session will be in September.
This session helps parents and caregivers answer that question by providing practical strategies for creating consistent daily reading routines, setting meaningful family reading goals, and making reading a part of everyday life from the very beginning of the school year.
This session is open to parents, caregivers and all who want to learn more about supporting reading routines at home.
