An ideal training mirrors the general READ TO ME Program. Beginning with the screening of our second video, The Read To Me Program, on our DVD, Reading With Babies, trainees meet for an adapted series of workshops to better understand the content, structure and fun of running a READ TO ME Program. A truly essential companion piece to prepare and run a training is our new Guide/La Guía! This Guide answers all of your training questions and gives even more wonderful suggestions!

The following elements are included:
   1.orientation to the world of young parents and babies
   2. reading and discussing pictures and picture books
   3. crafting a children's book
   4. making a library connection
   5. considerating how to organize and fund a new READ TO ME program

Read To Me staff are available for consultations and/or in-service staff training. If your site is in the New York City area, a recently trained leader might be available to co-lead your inaugural READ TO ME Program. Contact numbers: info@readtomeprogram.org or 212-721-6211.
