Reading to children during this time is key to building vocabulary and establishing the foundation for literacy and lifelong learning. At Ready Readers we send trained volunteers into classrooms in lowincome communities to read aloud to young children sparking imaginations and building early literacy skills in preparation for kindergarten. We stock classroom shelves with new highquality books and provide books for each child to keep and enjoy at home.
