Books for Kids | The Solution

You can Help

There are many ways in which you can help support our children.

Measurements.

Every year data is collected from all Books for Kids program sites to determine whether children show a heightened interest in reading, involve their parents in reading activities at home, borrow more books from the library, and show improved vocabulary and writing skills.

The Importance of Childrens Literature.

Children with literacy problems typically come from low-income families, have no books at home, and have caregivers who are not aware of the importance of reading to their children.

Thousands of children in Australia live in homes without sufficient economic resources to meet basic needs.

Tips for Parents.

One of the simplest things you can do to help your child succeed in life is to read together every day. Don't wait until the child's first day of school to begin at-home reading. The sooner you begin, the smarter your child becomes.

Ideas for Teachers.

We have provided some Ideas for Teachers to get Parents and Students Involved in Reading. Such as Local Author Book Talks, Public Library Visits, Book Swaps and many more.
