The Working Family Resource Center is providing a FREE Webinar on Early Literacy on February 8th at Noon. 

Early literacy is developed when we sing a lullaby, listen and respond to a baby's babbling, say a mealtime prayer, read the directions for pancakes, or write an email to grandma.  All of these meaningful activities help children learn language, vocabulary, and the purpose of print.  These are the skills they need to be good readers.

Presenter, Angele Sancho Passe, MA will talk about what family literacy is, have you consider what you are already doing at home to promote literacy and learn new ideas!
