Ready to Learn Storytime at the Catawba County Libraries

The Ready to Learn program is based on the following beliefs: • Children need to develop certain skills before they can learn to read. • Parents and other significant caregivers are a child’s first and best teachers. They can help children develop early literacy skills so that they are ready to learn to read once they begin school. • During the Ready to Learn Storytime, library staff will provide parents and caregivers with strategies they can use to help children in the early years develop essential early literacy skills and get ready to read.
