When parents and teachers work well together, everyone benefits. Parents who spend time reading to their children create nurturing relationships, which is important for a child’s cognitive, language and social-emotional development, which promotes early brain development, early literacy, language development and school readiness. Most families lack books at home to read to their children. This project gives us the opportunity to create a library to send books home for parents to read to their child. Literacy activities conducted at home can positively influence development in the areas of oral language, vocabulary, print awareness, comprehension, and children’s values related to reading.
