Every Child Ready to Read @ your library®
First Edition
The Every Child Ready to Read @ your library initiative
was developed by the Public Library Association and the Association for Library
Service to Children of the American Library Association. One
aspect of the initiative is to offer these scripts for workshops
for parents and caregivers of children newborn to age five
on early literacy. The scripts were developed by researchers
funded through the National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development of the National Institutes of Health. This
information is the basis for the applications on this website.

The following scripts were developed in 2004.
