Did you know you can borrow a resource-packed Ohio Ready to Read kit for free? Each kit has everything you need to present a Ready to Read workshop in your library or community. No more scrambling to collect books, toys, CDs, and flannels from your library collection or personal stash, or to make materials from scratch!
The ORTR kits are available for free loan to any Ohio public library staff member for early literacy support. Use them in your workshops, programming, parent education, staff meetings, or to demonstrate early literacy concepts anywhere in your community. Each kit includes the Every Child Ready To Read® @ Your Library® training kit (binder), which provides suggested scripts and activities that correlate with the other items in the kit. As of August 2011, each kit also includes the new 2nd edition ECRR manual (binder) and sample brochures and bookmarks.
To reserve a kit to be sent to your library, simply use this link to email ORTR Training Coordinator Natalie Fields and submit your answers to the questions included in the email message.
After submitting your request, please print out the ORTR kit confirmation page for your reference. Thank you!
