Keeping Georgia’s public library shelves stocked with books and other resources is crucial in getting young children ready to read.
We’ve partnered with libraries to encourage parents to read 1,000 books with their children before age 5. This program is designed to be a fun and easy way to help your child develop pre-reading skills vital to kindergarten readiness.
Research shows a striking correlation between pre-reading skills and later academic success reaching into high school and beyond.
Parents and caregivers are a child’s first and best teacher. By sharing stories at home, you can give your child a valuable gift – a sense of confidence and a love for books and reading that can last a lifetime.
