We Read Literacy for Youth Program
Public Schools, Private Schools, Charters, and Community Centers frequently inquire about our literature and seek curriculum support that embraces diversity to set a foundation for healthy academic engagement.
We have been hired by after-schools, summer camps, and enrichment programs to provide services for children in their neighborhoods.
Often urban children face challenges unique to them related to education, as a result, Wiggles Press designed this program to help address those concerns, both emotional and educational.
We train and guide those engaged in teaching reading skills to a younger generation.
The name “We Read” was derived from the experience of children often told they were mocking the teacher when they were actually reading at the ages of 3 to 5. It was both an affirmation and call-to-action.
Our experiences with students provided a foundation for nurturing a one-on-one storytime. Our methodology also healed those who seldom had this experience as a child – giving them self-care skills and the skills to inspire a love for learning.
