Our core 1-hour workshops are delivered for parents at their children’s schools include:

• Foundations of Literacy: Parents learn how to set high expectations, establish a daily routine of reading and talking with their children, stay involved in their child’s education, and master dialogic reading.

• Math and Literacy: Parents learn how to present math concepts through reading, conversation, and play.

• Science and Literacy: Parents learn simple science-related concepts through reading and activities.

Additionally, we have included the handouts for the other three workshops we offer.

• Let’s Read, Let’s Talk takes a deep dive into dialogic reading techniques, equipping parents with strategies they can use at home to increase their child’s literacy development through asking questions, predicting, teaching the parts of a book, and summarizing content.

• Art and Literacy introduces parents to visual art, music and dance, and dramatic play. Parents learn how to use these activities to develop their child’s literacy.

• Ready For Kindergarten begins to equip parents for their child’s transition to kindergarten. Topics include registration, a Day in the Life, and a ready for kindergarten checklist. Parents also learn about some of the content their child will be expected to master in kindergarten.

During this challenging time, we have made our handouts available for parents to use for their personal use. If a business or school would like to use these handouts, they must credit Ready, Set, Read!
