Research shows that early childhood literacy is the key to academic success. This program is just one way we are working to ensure that all of our community's children have the advantage they need when starting kindergarten. In addition, our research from parents participating in our program that they are spending more time reading to their children and that their children are more interested in reading now then they were before receiving our books.
