    FBBR is a dynamic reading workshop designed for parents and children in elementary grades. This workshop will teach parents how to set their children up for successful reading practice at home with ten research-based activities they can do with their children to improve reading performance. With a construction theme that adds an element of fun to the event for parents and children, each parent will receive a "tool kit" and "blueprint for success" that includes reading materials and activities to do within their own home.
