Hi there, A.O. here with the Believe in Books Literacy Foundation, here to talk about one of our free literacy programs: Outreach Reading.
Every year we visit around 60 schools and childcare centers, reaching more than 1600 students at least four times a year. Our literacy outreach coordinator organizes our preK and kindergarten books for schools in New Hampshire and Maine, picking exciting reads. Then, our team takes the bookmobile out into the communities we serve and reads an engaging book to children in their classrooms. Following the reading, each student gets to choose their own book from a variety of titles. These books are free for the students to take home and share with loved ones.
Outreach Reading is designed to inspire and ignite a love of books for children, while providing books to families who may not otherwise have access. For years, Outreach Reading has supported literacy initiatives and built lasting relationships with schools and childcare centers throughout the North Country.
