Early Literacy Community Council
Reading Ready Pittsburgh knows that we are stronger together. That's why we're bringing together community members who are passionate about early literacy to create a literacy dream world.
The Early Literacy Council is guided by its mission of working to develop a strong early literacy foundation for families in the Mon Valley and to foster a literary community where everyone can succeed. The Early LIteracy Community Council is comprised of parents, community members, librarians, and other professionals who want to make an impact on early literacy in the Mon Valley.
Together, we’ve determined four priorities:
​
-
Increasing access to books
-
Providing parent support around early literacy
-
Developing creative partnerships and collaborations
-
Communicating the benefits of literacy for babies and small children
