Embrace the excitement by enrolling in our Letters Are Characters Learn-to-Read Initiative!

Meet with Dr. Caroline Ugurlu at this Kick-off event!

Reading well is the most essential skill that we can teach our children. Letters Are Character is an innovative play-based program designed to get every type of learner ready to read. It is coupled with an essential reading curriculum for parents/caregivers.

Fill out the form below to enroll in the 8-week program.

Each week you will receive weekly email guidance to help your young reader not only learn to read but enjoy doing it! Each parent will receive a weekly instructional letter and video, plus unprecedented access to Letters Are Characters creator, Dr. Caroline Ugurlu via email or phone. Once you are registered, come into the Library to pick up your Letters Are Characters hardcover book and kit that are required to utilize throughout the program.

Inside the kit:

A Letters are Characters Multisensory workbook

 A brand new bag of fun Crayon Rocks (specially designed to teach the tripod grip). https://www.crayonrocks.com/

Letter Dough Powder that will make Letter Dough!

Letters are Characters Hardcover Book (must be returned, the rest of the kit is yours to keep)

The book needs to be returned to the library upon completion of the program but your Letters Are Characters workbook, letter dough, crayon rocks, and a yellow drawstring backpack to hold your supplies are all for you to keep! 

Optional in-person sessions will take place in January and February. These will be announced at a future date.
