Amazing FREE Literacy Program for Kids 0+ Years

I only came across this program because I went to an Early Years Drop-In program where another grandparent told me about this great program called Action Read.  I was new in town, so I asked about what there was to do.  She told me about this great literacy program that would start up in September at the West End community centre.  There were other locations, but that was the closest one to the Early Years program we were at.

I went home to Google more information about the Action Read program.  I find their website incredibly hard to navigate.  I could NOT, for the life of me, find the locations where the various Action Read programs ran out of.  I still find it difficult to find the information.

For the sake of other new parents out there, or new parents to Guelph, here is a link to the Action Read site that I find most helpful.
