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.
