Ready Rosie

One of the library's goals is to provide parents with the opportunities and resources to become actively engaged in their child’s education. As part of our new Book Bus program, we are proud to present ReadyRosie.



What is ReadyRosie?
ReadyRosie is an online resource that emails daily activities for adults to do with their children ages birth to six. Each activity is modeled with a two minute video. It is followed by a two minute explanation video from a teacher. The activities are simple and only take about two minutes each day. As a parent or guardian, you are your child’s first teacher and advocate. ReadyRosie gives families tips and tools needed to engage their preschooler in day-to-day learning in the home, car, grocery store, restaurants, or public transportation – wherever real life happens.>

Why ReadyRosie?
ReadyRosie demonstrates and delivers activities to promote academic readiness.

-Demonstrates: Each demonstration video is only 2 minutes and very easy to model. The daily videos that are sent out give real examples with families on how they could engage their child in everyday situations.
-Delivers: ReadyRosie sends daily emails Monday through Friday. The emails include links that have 1 video in English, 1 video in Spanish, and 1 expert clip where a professional explains the importance of the activity.
-Academic Readiness: ReadyRosie videos are based on national Pre-Kindergarten educational guidelines. Now your child can practice what they are learning or will learn in the classroom at home!

How do I get started with ReadyRosie?
The library pays for all our families to be a part of this subscription. Simply follow the link to ReadyRosie and sign up today! If you are would like to participate in the program but need further information or assistance, visit the Children's Department where a librarian can help get you signed up.

I use ReadyRosie every week with my own kids and I love the program. It is easy to incorporate the activities into everyday life and having it comes to my email means I never forget to watch. I love finding new ways to add learning opportunities into our regular routines and it is so exciting to see my child discover something new
