                     Begin Literacy Efforts at Birth:

  • Put books in the home, encourage parents to read frequently to their children and associate reading with fun and love.
  • Early childhood interventions with reading are the most cost-effective way to develop human capital.
  • Reading regularly with your children during their preschool years gives them the biggest boost toward a successful education they will receive.
  • Children who start kindergarten with reading experiences are happier and more successful students all through school.
  • We hope to stirs the interest of your family to spend quality time together and to share the pleasure of reading and learning.
  • To improve early literacy for every child regardless of race, religion, income or gender.
  • Learning to read is a process much like learning to speak or walk.The process begins at birth.
  • Children associate sounds with letters. They associate pictures with words. They learn how books work, reading left to right and turning pages.
  • These are all steps along the way in learning to read. Long before a child begins formal education there are already children far ahead of the curve and even more lagging behind
