Visual of the new early literacy center

The large colorful panels in the Youth Services Department with wheels and strings and mirrors galore have been attracting the younger children to play. This large toy is an early literacy center that supports skills that are essential for reading readiness. While children play they are learning skills that will help them become ready to read. Suggestions of activities for parents to do with their children are written on the panels to help parents with these early skills.
