In cooperation with The Kansas City Public Library, Wonderscope is proud to present Every Child Ready to Read. Led by specially trained instructors, this workshop will prepare parents and childcare providers with the tools they need to start their child on the path to reading. In this one-hour workshop, you will be introduced to the following pre-reading skills, and ways to help your child develop them:
