Children learn about communication, language, storytelling, and letters long before they actually learn to read and write, and this is where early literacy comes in. Research indicates that it is never too early to start preparing children for reading success.

As children advance as readers, the focus shifts to helping young children build and strengthen reading and language skills. Cocke County Community Libraries and the Cocke County Cradle to Career Coalition had a fish-tastic time this summer exploring the many "Oceans of Possibilities" that come with reading.
