Time to Choose Books

By Lauren Martin | Executive Director

Thanks to donors like you, we have officially started 2018 - 2019 programming with our partnering daycares in NYC.

The first step?

Daycare providers are currently choosing the books they want for their kids! Our hard cover, board book and bilingual options all teach sight words, rhyme and other important early literacy skills.

Because of you, parents are taking home hardcover classics including Green Eggs and Ham, Fox in Socks, Hop on Pop and Go Dog Go! Spanish-speaking families will receive English-Spanish dual language versions of classic titles: A Color of His Own, Curious George and Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?

Once book selections are made, we ship every daycare "Parent Enrollment Forms" to subscribe families to an entire year of weekly emails and text messages - proven to increase parent reading engagement and childhood literacy scores.

Preschool vocabulary predicts high school graduation rates.Thank you for giving children the words they need to succeed.
