Ready to Read

Ready to Read encourages parents to read aloud to their children, beginning at birth, to help prepare them for learning to read. KPL leads this community collaboration of medical practices, human services agencies, preschool classrooms, and nonprofit organizations.

What a great time I had at the "Party in the Park". I loved playing a chicken and clucking my way through the park to the various groups to read them "Chickens to the Rescue!" I even got the children to cluck with me throughout the story. And could the weather have treated us any better! Can't wait to do this again next year. I do have a banana costume and could possibly read a banana story....I don't know...it was so much fun as the chicken.
