Ready, Set, Read is online this summer! Join us every Wednesday for 6-weeks to take part in our free literacy workshops for parents via zoom. During this series, we will conveniently offer the workshop in Spanish at 11am and English at 2pm. Registration required. Click below to learn more.

We prepare young children to become lifelong readers by coaching their parents to read with them.

We partner with preschools and kindergartens in underserved Los Angeles communities by providing workshops filled with easy-to-implement tips and hands-on training. We make home reading easier by distributing age-appropriate books to families and donating lending libraries to classrooms. By involving parents in their children's literacy development, we pave the way for future reading which ultimately aids educational success.

Why Our Techniques Work

The Ready, Set, Read! workshop is the culmination of years of research and hands-on experience. During a workshop, parents are taught the dialogic reading method for reading with their children.

Dialogic reading is based upon three main techniques - asking "what" questions, open-ended questions, then expanding upon what the child says. This method fosters critical thinking and language skills that will serve the child for years to come.
