Frequently Asked Questions

Osceola Reads is a reading initiative aimed at increasing the literacy rate throughout Osceola County, Florida. We want teachers to move students forward in their education rather than exposing students to literacy skills for the first time. We believe that children are more prepared for kindergarten if they are exposed to reading from an early age. We are proud to be active in the community, partnering with the School District of Osceola County, the Early Learning Coalition of Osceola County, and the Osceola Library System to provide parents with ways to support their children's literacy.

Osceola Reads provides many tools for parents to use. Visit our Parents Resource page and our blog to find up-to-date tools that will help your family.
