Reading Machine
Early Literacy on Wheels
Reading Machine brings the wonderful world of Storytime, engaging early literacy programs, and STEAM activities to the children in licensed home daycares and preschools!
We partner with early education providers in select cities to schedule regular Reading Machine site visits, which include high energy Storytime for the kids, as well as tools, resources, books, and manipulatives for use in the classroom or home care setting, plus tips for educators to deliver their own Storytime.
