These are just a few resources to encourage reading with your children and learn more about ways to build your child’s library!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
Imagine the fun of receiving a free book for your child in the mail each month, building a library of books and a love for reading.
The Down East Partnership for Children and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library are working together to get books into the hands of our youngest children.
Active Reading is all about reading with a child rather than to a child. It focuses on the ABCs: Asking Questions, Building Vocabulary, and Connecting to the Child’s World. Active Reading helps build a child’s language, vocabulary and comprehension. It works with children 6 months old through 6th grade.
