Colorado Humanities invites you to join the National Initiative on School Readiness, by attending a FREE Motheread + Teacheread Institute or Story Exploring Workshop through our Motheread/Fatheread Colorado program.
The national, award-winning Motheread®, Teacheread®, and Story Exploring® curricula prepare children for school by helping adults share books with them. The Motheread curriculum is for adult educators and administrators who regularly work with groups of parents. The Teacheread curriculum is for adult educators who regularly work with teacher aides and childcare providers who may have lower literacy skills. Our 3-day Motheread+Teacheread Institute offers training in both curricula. Two college credits are available for this training.
