Build a Reader
Babies and young children can’t read yet, but their brains are eager to learn! By engaging in simple activities with your child every day (talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing), you help them build the skills for reading success. In these videos, professional children’s librarians and staff of the Tulsa City-County Library demonstrate songs, stories, and more that will get children ready for reading!
