[Michlib-l] NEW! READsquared Read-to-Me Reading Program and more

Wed Jul 27 13:51:17 EDT 2022

Did you know that READsquared has many pre-packaged programs available to public libraries across Michigan?! The new "Read-to-Me" reading program is based on the 5 practices of Every Child Ready to Read (see details in the email below my signature). A full list of the pre-packaged programs can be found here: https://portal.readsquared.com/r2kb/Article.aspx?id=10286.  You can easily add<https://portal.readsquared.com/r2kb/Article.aspx?id=10093> any of these programs to your account with just a couple of clicks, at no extra charge.

Thanks to support from the Library of Michigan and Institute of Museum and Library Services, public libraries in MI can sign-up for a READsquared site here: https://mistate.readsquared.com/Signup.aspx?State=MI#!, libraries with pre-existing READsquared sites can also access these programs for free.

Please feel free to reach out to READsquared anytime with questions or site issues: support at r2stg.zohosupport.com<mailto:support at r2stg.zohosupport.com>, and you can also find a lot of helpful guidance in their Knowledge Base<https://portal.readsquared.com/r2kb/default.aspx>.
