If you did not get to talk to them at the NMHSC 2008 Fair give them a call. Those of you will little ones might want to attend one of their workshops, these workshops are also good for caregivers! Maybe your older homeschool teen could benefit if they have interest in a career that would need these skills, I am not sure about the age that they would allow teens to go by themselves but it never hurts to ask so give them a call today!

From their website:
Early literacy is what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write. Research shows that children get ready to read years before they start school. The Albuquerque/Bernalillo County Library System wants every child in Albuquerque to be given the best possible chance to succeed. Towards this effort, the Library System has adopted Every Child Ready to Read®, an early childhood literacy program developed by the American Library Association.
Every Child Ready to Read® will be presented in the form of free one-hour workshops that are designed to give parents and caregivers tips on how to give young children a head start on a life of learning. Parents and caregivers can attend workshops for Early Talkers (ages newborn-2), Talkers (ages 2-3) and Pre-Readers (ages 4-5).
The Every Child Ready to Read® workshops will take place at various locations throughout the City of Albuquerque. Participants are encouraged to pre-register by calling (505) 768-5103, and may bring their children with them.
Every Child Ready to Read® is sponsored by the following: Target Corporation, the Friends for the Public Library, the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, Lockheed Martin/Sandia National Laboratories, and the Qwest Foundation.
