Designed to enhance teaching practices and to improve literacy outcomes for young children, this comprehensive course is for everyone who works with young children birth through age 5 and wants to improve their school readiness.

HeadsUp! Reading is based on the latest research from the National Research Council about how young children learn to read and write.

Reading is the fundamental building block for learning throughout life. L.E.A.R.N.S, Nebraska's voluntary academic standards emphasize the importance of reading as the key to early school success.
