Every Child Ready To Read - Parents and Caregivers

FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS

HELP YOUR CHILD GET READY TO READ

Learning starts at birth! Research shows that children learn the skills they need to read years before they start school.

Why are these skills so important?
Research shows that children who haven't experienced or explored these skills at a young age will have far more difficulty learning to read when they do enter school.

What can you do?
Your role as a parent, grandparent or caregiver is vitally important. You are your child's best teacher, and there are thousands of fun, easy ways to help your child learn these skills during your daily activities.

How can the library help?
We have trained staff and countless resources ready to help you get started. Stop by your local branch of the Oakville Public Library and talk to our friendly Children's Services Staff. We can help.
