Description

It Takes a Village: Community as a Literacy Ecosystem - Libraries, pediatric offices, faith communities, childcare providers, and local employers all play a role in a child's reading life. We'll explore how community connections extend literacy learning beyond school walls, and how to build those bridges intentionally. “Literacy doesn't live only in classrooms. It lives everywhere a child does.”
