Share a Story at WOSU@COSI
Children’s book illustrator Dale Herron explains to a very attentive audience how he imagined and created the images that fill the book, Bearable Moments.

Author, Chris Judd, read the book and Dale illustrated the Bear to the delight of the young audience. Dale and Chris were guests at Share a Story, one of the special events at the opening weekend of WOSU@COSI.

Share a Story also featured talent from the Columbus Metropolitan Library. Cathy Williams spiced her stories with song; Martha Lund grabbed the children’s attention with “flannel stories”; and Ann Ogg regaled the audience with puppets galore.

Ready To Learn is the combination of broadcast programming and outreach services WOSU offers parents, families, caregivers and educators to prepare young children for success in school. Here's a list of Ready To Learn services:

Ready To Lead in Literacy is a four-workshop series offered by WOSU in 2006 with funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.  CPB has funded the initiative in select communities to increase the literacy of children and to support public television leadership in fostering literacy as a core competency for its youngest constituents.

Ohio's Ready to Learn is a state-funded program targeted to home-based care providers for children birth to age three. Its companion program is Ready To Learn Early.


For specific information about workshops, call (614) 292-9678 and ask for the Ready to Learn Coordinator.
