<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Hello! The state library in Virginia is making several of their online courses available to folks nationwide. Below are the descriptions and links you need
to learn about and register for the courses. The first three look great if you have been looking for training in the Every Child Ready to Read 2<sup>nd</sup> Edition early literacy curriculum, if you weren’t able to participate in Reading for Healthy Families
or if you just want a refresher because you haven’t used the curriculum in a while.

training. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
