RocketKids Article

The Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County (ELC) has received $18,000 from Bradenton Kiwanis in support of ReadingPals, the ELC's early literacy program that brings trained volunteers into local preschool classrooms to read with children each week. ReadingPals serves 4-year-olds in prekindergarten classrooms across Manatee County. Through weekly shared reading sessions, children build early language and literacy skills while growing more comfortable with books and storytelling during a key stage of development.For more information about ReadingPals, or if you're interested in volunteering, visit https://www.elc-manatee.org/ReadingPals.
