16 for Success: Tip cards and book lists
We have created a 16 for Success Tip Card which has 16 of the 47 developmental skills that help kids become ready for kindergarten. The 16 for Success book list is handpicked by the Akron-Summit Public Library and helps kids learn the 16 skills on the tip cards.
