In 2000, the Association for Library Service to Children and the Public Library Association responded to

research studies that found a significant percentage of children were entering kindergarten without the early literacy

skills needed to learn to read.

Page 3: NCompass Live: Every Child Ready to Read @ your library

Teaching parents and other caregivers how to support the early

literacy development of their children was the basis for the first editionof Every Child Ready to Read®

@ your library®.

ECRR 1st Edition focused on six

early literacy skills.

In 2008, a joint ALSC/PLA Task Force was created to evaluate the first edition of ECRR. In 2009, Dr. Susan B.

Neuman and Dr. Donna Celano were commissioned to conduct the evaluation

and make recommendations.
