Smart Start raises readers
Smart Start of Brunswick County has received a matching grant award from Raising a Reader for its Books for Babies in Brunswick County project. Books for Babies partners Smart Start’s Raising A Reader and Parents As Teachers together in a special project designed to encourage family engagement through literacy activities, such as book cuddling.
Raising A Reader, entering its second year in Brunswick County, helps families successfully build and sustain literacy routines in their homes through a book bag program filled with award-winning books. Books are rotated on a weekly basis and pairs parent training on effective book sharing to promote family literacy habits, language and literacy skills, and love of learning. Currently focusing on children 3-4 years of age, Books for Babies will expand the program to include infants and toddlers as well.
Smart Start was notified by Raising a Reader that they will match by 50 percent any donation made on the Global Giving website between Nov. 14-Jan. 14 to Books for At Risk Children in North Carolina. Global Giving is a charity fundraising website that provides nonprofits from anywhere in the world a chance to raise funds needed to improve their communities with its focuses on programs that are working to educate children, feed the hungry, build houses, train women (and men) with job skills and hundreds of other projects.
