Introduction:

Thank you for participating in the REL Southeast Supporting Children’s Reading At-Home Webinar. Our goal was to share information and resources to help support families. Please help us understand if we met our goal by completing this survey. Your answers will help us as we work to create more resources for families. It should take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you so much for your help!
