Reading with Children


As part of a major early literacy initiative for children everywhere, RUMACCC is proud to launch a series of early readers in many languages. They are free and easily downloadable from the links below!

These readers are designed to help children enjoy reading and to show parents and educators how easy it is to prepare enjoyable reading materials – starting with pencil and paper and then with a little help from the computer.

If you are an experienced graphic designer, translator or children’s writer and would like to be involved in developing other materials on a voluntary basis, please get in touch.
