Just a reminder that the 2019 Ready to Read Michigan (RTRM) kits also includes access to the online Touch the Brightest Star Programming Guide!

The online, printable guide includes, but is not limited to:

Background information on the 5 Practices of Every Child Ready to Read, which RTRM is based upon
Resources & read-a-likes
Activities for Touch the Brightest Star
Storytime Guides
Templates & Activity sheets to use in storytime
Printable Booklists to share with families

Public libraries across Michigan should have received their RTRM kit this past week. If you are a public library and have not, please keep an eye out for it (big white box) in the coming days and contact me if you don’t have it by Friday, 2/8/19.

Looking forward to all your March is Reading Month fun – please use #ReadytoReadMi on social media if posting about programming around RTRM.

Thank you,
