children develop the early literacy skills needed to learn how to read. Participants will become familiar with seminal research on early literacy, how to explain its importance to caregivers while presenting fun, interactive storytimes. This will also cover
the 5 practices of <i>Every Child Ready to Read</i>, the basis of <i>Ready to Read Michigan</i>.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Research shows that beliefs about intelligence and ability impact one's performance and response to failure. Learn more about what research says, how to examine and change your own mindset, and what you can

to surface the skills and conditions that matter most for a child's success in school and life, and to guide educators and others (including families) in designing learning experiences and environments to support this development.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
