Every Child Ready to Read®: Early Talkers
"Bonding with Babies Through Books"
The objectives of the Early Talker workshop are to:
- Present the six pre-reading skills that help children get ready to read.
- Introduce book sharing between parents and infants at an earlier age than it might otherwise occur.
- Offer ideas to make book sharing an enjoyable experience so that parent and child will read together more often.
- Suggest books, rhymes and other resources that are age appropriate.
