Enriching language experiences are necessary if children are to be successful throughout their life. They need language to communicate, as well as to learn to read. Child Care Resource and Referral offers many classes on helping children develop language and reading skills.

Classes include ways to build skills by storytelling, finger plays and rhymes, choosing appropriate books, and helping children learn skills that will help them learn to read when they start to school.

Every Child Reads - People who attend Every Child Reads learn how to enhance the reading, writing, and language skills of preschoolers. Iowa Department of Education began the this initiative to help improve declining test scores across the state.  Since its inception in 1997, schools have seen dramatic results.

Pre-registration is required for all classes
