Literacy Outreach
When families have books at home and actively engage in home reading practices, they significantly increase their child’s reading ability in the future, especially when they regularly enjoy a story together. Comprehension builds well before children are able to conventionally read, so shared reading begins to build vocabulary and comprehension earlier than school-age. Providing books to children is a smart investment; it is an affordable, research-rich strategy to provide access to early literacy for all children.​
