Hi! As you know, the early literacy curriculum used in RFHF was updated earlier this year. The underlying information is the same, but the
<span style="font-style: italic;">Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition</span> early literacy curriculum provides new and different ways for you to present the information to parents and providers. Now that some of you have both editions in hand you are probably
starting to think about what to do with them. Here is what Nathan Jones is doing in St. Helens:<br>
<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">The [<span style="font-style: italic;">Every Child Ready to Read 2nd Edition</span>] kit is here, the poster is up, the brochures and
bookmarks are already in the hands of parents. It is a very nice curriculum, I find it very useful to have both editions though. It allows me to pick and choose which one is most appropriate for different parents. Some parents, who have a lot of knowledge
about reading already, seem to take better to the original version - while the majority of parents, who feel totally lost, seem to appreciate the simplicity of the 2<sup>nd</sup> edition. I’ll probably purchase some additional brochures to share with our
local Head Start and add the curriculum to our professional collection so that Head Start teachers can borrow it from us informally. </span></div>
