Are you still paying for children’s books? 🤔
Dolly Parton is a world-wide program that sends 🆓 books to children each month until age 5. I enrolled my daughter in December and received the first book in January (Of course, it was one of my favorites). I used this book to teach sorting. I read the book to my daughter and then had her place the teddy bears on the correct color. Although I used this book for math, I also hit on some literacy skills by following the reading tips recommended. I asked questions about the book and pointed out objects (that I knew she was familiar with) to help guide her learning. I’m looking forward to February’s book next week. Let’s make reading fun for children again.

The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is an initiative designed to promote early literacy by providing free books to children from birth until they turn five. With a new book delivered monthly, this program encourages a love for reading from an early age. Engaging with your child during reading is crucial; make storytime interactive by asking questions about the images and storyline. For instance, when reading "The Little Engine That Could," ask them how the character feels or about the colors of the train. This not only enhances comprehension but also fosters imagination and language development. Moreover, incorporating reading into everyday activities can reinforce literacy skills. Carry books with you for downtime at stores or during doctor's visits, turning waiting moments into a fun learning opportunity. Use phrases from stories throughout the day, such as "I think I can" when climbing stairs, making learning a continuous experience. By integrating bright, colorful books and interactive storytelling, you'll create a vibrant, supportive environment that cultivates your child's love for reading and learning.
