Reading Ready Time is a recorded virtual program that incorporates the five skills of early literacy learning: reading, writing, talking, singing, and playing. These five skills help caregivers and educators prepare young children for success in school and in life. Special guests share music, dance, and stories to build vocabulary and background knowledge. Designed for children 3-6 years old, Reading Ready Time runs throughout the school year. All episodes are available on our YouTube channel.
