   Read With Me! provides children with a strong foundation for literacy by helping them develop these early reading skills through quality interactions with adults. We do not expect children to talk if they have not been talked to. Similarly, we should not expect children to read if they have never, or seldom, been read to!  Furthermore, additional core early reading competencies related to the development of oral language, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills are targeted through the use of six interactive strategies that are easy to implement across a variety of settings.  However, most importantly, RWM! helps children and adults find the joy in reading together - the most fundamental of all the foundation literacy skills. 

   Read With Me! has been presented at more than 150 venues across the country and abroad over the past several years.  WIsconsin,  Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, South Carolina, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas,  Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Virginia, Missouri, Colorado, New Hampshire, New York, Montana, Georgia, Utah, Virginia, and Washington D.C. are recent venues in the U.S. along with Winnipeg, Alberta and Sydney, Australia. The momentum continues to grow with each group who experiences the fun and stress-free strategies that help children build strong reading and talking skills.

Reading with Children Should Be:

FUN!!                                      Stress-Free!
