For over 20 years, Ready, Set, Read has led bilingual workshops for parents in Los Angeles on read-aloud techniques that engage children under age 6 and build their critical literacy skills
Samantha Sosa felt a weight lifted off of her shoulders when she realized that all four of her children had grown a love for reading. It was something she had always hoped to instill in them to foster their interest in learning other subjects. When she came across Ready, Set, Read! in July, she leaped at the chance to transform their passion into a foundation for successful learning.
Sosa, 37, has attended three virtual workshops through Ready, Set, Read, a nonprofit project of Community Partners, since the organization pivoted from in-person to online sessions in response to schools moving to online instruction. She said she’s always read to her children, but the workshops have taught her to focus on the “teaching moments” that arise.
Ana Villaseñor, a pre-kindergarten teacher at Roscoe Elementary School in Sun Valley, has noticed the same love for reading in her students as Sosa noticed in her son after getting involved with Ready, Set, Read. Parents at Roscoe have attended workshops organized by Ready, Set, Read, aimed to guide them as they support their children’s literacy development.
The workshops teach parents to implement learning techniques that can be used in any context. Parents learn to start dialogues with their children about their surrounding environments by asking them how their day was, making up stories or simply describing the weather. Heightening children’s awareness of their surroundings will increase their imagination and literacy, Burgin said.“The program is helping me know there’s a different way to read,” Sosa said.
