Read to Me Project
|
The Read to Me Project delivers book packs to children in out of home care. Currently children 0-5 years are receiving these packs, along with resources to help carers to engage with books, and singing songs. This project has initial funding for 3 years.
Children receive a start up book pack that contains:
- 10 picture/board books
- 'Read to Me' book bag
- DVD - role modeling reading practices and 1 hour of book readings
- Activity/Information booklet for carers.
Every 3 months, children receive a top up pack that contains:
- 3 picture/board books
- activity ideas to extend the story experience
- hints and tips for carers to engage with children through stories
To date, we have delivered direct to children with the support of Families SA and DECD distribution centre over 13,500 books.
Your feedback will help the team at Raising Literacy Australia to seek funding to continue the Read to Me project as well as opportunities to expand the project to include children over the age of 5 years.
