who learn six critical pre-reading skills before they start kindergarten

become better readers. Children who do not know these skills when they

come to school have a much more difficult time learning to read. There is

a program for each of three age groups: birth to two-year-olds, two and

three-year-olds, and four and five-year olds. Each of the “Every Child

Ready To Read®” programs explains why the skills are so important,

demonstrates how to help children learn the skills, provides titles of high-

interest books that are age appropriate, and sends you home with early

literacy activities to incorporate into your family’s daily routine.
