Literacy Kickoff: A Family Game Plan

"Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks."

— Dr. Seuss

The Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) coaches families to develop a gameplan to start teaching young children to read.

Your support will enable us to host six workshops for up to 240 families. Each two-hour workshop will coach 40 families on reading and language development activities to help children become readers.
