SERVE is an education organization with the mission to promote and support
the continuous improvement of educational opportunities for learners in the
Southeast. Begin With Books is a partnership serving four counties
in rural Georgia that encourages new parents to read to their children beginning
at birth. This project supplies new parents with information about early
literacy, suggestions of how to promote children’s literacy skills, and a
range of resources for continued support. Parents receive a tote bag containing
an "I'm a Born Reader" tee shirt, a series of user-friendly pamphlets
outlining how parents can support children’s literacy development, and a
copy of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Eric Carle.
In addition, an interactive Internet-based program, Stepping Stones to
Literacy, provides educators, parents, and others interested in learning
more about how young children communicate and learn to read with research-based
information, practical suggestions, self-tests, message boards, and other
resources. The project, which connects early childhood development (ages
1-5) with literacy development, allows users to choose the level (level 1
is introductory, level 2 is intermediate, and level 3 is advanced) and depth
of information most relevant to their learning goals.

Between the Lions is a PBS television series for children which premiered on April 3, 2000. The program is named for a family of lions who run a library like no other on earth. The doors "between the lions" swing open to reveal a magical place where characters pop off the pages of books, vowels sing, and words take on a life of their own. The series combines innovative puppetry, animation, live action, and music to transform the sometimes confusing process of learning to read into an entertaining adventure for children ages 4 to 7 and their families. Between the Lions is based on a comprehensive literacy curriculum that follows a "whole-part-whole" approach recommended by many reading experts. The curriculum emphasizes both the pleasures and the value of reading, as well as the skills needed for learning how to read. The "whole" is provided by a read-aloud story, poem or song, while a series of "parts" focuses on specific phonics skills.

The Bonding With Baby Book Donation Program is designed to give all children an equal start by providing the Bonding With Baby board books free to disadvantaged families through nonprofit organizations. These books utilize a wordless format so parents of any background, skill, or language can "read" them with their children. They feature real life characters and culturally universal stories that can appeal to all parents. The illustrations offer "point and share" pictures that stimulate 'give and take' interaction between parents and children. The Bonding With Baby Kit is currently being distributed free to over 11,000 families in the Healthy Families America Program in 12 States and the District of Columbia. In addition, a limited number of samples are provided free to other organizations, such as the Public Library Association and Parents as Teachers. The Kit includes a four-book Bonding With Baby book set and an in-home instructional video for parents so they may learn privately at their own pace.

to develop in children a lifelong love of reading. Teachers receive
free materials in September. The program starts October 1, 2003, and
ends March 31, 2004.
The teacher sets a monthly reading goal for each child in the class. They
can set a different goal for each child in the class, and they can vary the
goal from month to month. Goals can be number of books read, number of pages
or chapters read, number of minutes read, etc. For children who haven't yet
learned to read, or for those who have difficulty reading, teachers can set
monthly goals for the child to be read to by others.

BokPALS is an all-volunteer literacy program that puts performing artists
and theater students in disadvantaged elementary school classrooms to read
aloud to children once a week. The program is sponsored by the Screen Actors
Guild Foundation which provides a part-time coordinator for each of the 19
branches across the county.
The mission of BookPALS is to bring stories to life, making reading fun and
enjoyable so that children will want to read for themselves. BookPALS also
seeks grants and donations from the community for special programs and to
get books into the hands of children.
BookPALS is founded on a very clear premise: In order for children to learn
to read — especially if they are non-native English speakers, or are
not read to at home — they must experience the magic of books and develop
a love for reading. The art of story telling is an actor’s craft... no one
brings life to a book better than an actor.
The all-volunteer team consists exclusively of professional actors - SAG,
AFTRA, and EQUITY members - who read aloud to children at public elementary
schools in at-risk neighborhoods, helping introduce them to the world of
reading and literacy.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, developed in 1995 for her hometown of
Sevier County, Tennessee, has been replicated in communities across the United
States. All children in the community are enrolled at birth or when they
move into the community. Each month, from the day the child is born until
their 5th birthday, a selected book arrives at the mailbox. The Dollywood
Foundation has developed the delivery system, negotiated price, selected
the publisher and the individual titles, and created registration and promotional
materials. Local champions finance the cost of the books and the mailing.
Local champions are businesses, individuals, United Ways, school systems,
local and state government, foundations and nonprofit organizations.

First Book is a national nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. The children supported by First Bookinclude those who participate in literacy programs based in shelters for homeless and abused children, public housing programs, Head Start centers, migrant worker camps, libraries, and school-based programs. First Book’s primary goal is to work through its national network of community-based Local Advisory Boards to provide children with an ongoing supply of free books. These new books are provided to children who, for economic reasons, have little or no access to books. In the last two years alone, First Book has provided almost 15 million new books to children in need in hundreds of communities nationwide.
The Public Broadcasting Service’s (PBS) program, Ready To Learn, has obtained books through the First Book Program to distribute monthly to low-income families. First Book has developed a sustaining network of partnerships from the private and government sectors.

“If I Can Read, I Can Do Anything,” a national reading club for Native Children, began as a pilot project at one tribal school library in Fall 1999 with funding from ALA President Sarah A. Long. The program now includes 19 schools and one tribal community library. We see the impact of the program. Librarians have a network through which to communicate concerns. Library collections have increased in size and quality: we have delivered over $108,000 in new books. Library policies have been revised: at one site students were not allowed to check out books from the library until their school joined “If I Can Read.” Schools expanded services to include reading promotion activities such as family reading nights. Several tribal school librarians have continued their education into certification, master’s, and even doctoral programs. Others sites have received additional funding for their libraries and completed competitive grant applications.

NBSF provides books and materials to literacy projects throughout the United States that help parents and children in need. The resources for the NBSF are from New Readers Press, the publishing division of ProLiteracy Worldwide. The NBSF is different from other "give away" programs that donate a book to a child or to an adult who may not be able to afford one. Primary consideration is given to supporting family literacy initiatives. English as a Second Language (ESL), adult basic educational programs, and projects that involve women-focused basic literacy or ESL programming will be considered for support. Books from the NBSF are actually used to provide men, women, and children with the literacy instruction they need to learn to read. More than $1.6 million in books and materials has been distributed nationally by the NBSF since 1995. NBSF is a program of ProLiteracy Worldwide, recently formed by the merger of Laubach Literacy and Literacy Volunteers of America, Inc.

The Partnership for Reading is a collaborative effort by three federal agencies - the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and the U.S. Department of Education - to bring the findings of evidence-based reading research to the educational community, families, and others with an interest in helping all people learn to read well. First established in 2000, The Partnership is now authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110).
The Partnership’s mission is to disseminate evidence-based research, a focus that makes it substantively different from earlier information dissemination efforts and clearinghouses. This mandate to use evidence-based research as the basis for making decisions about reading instruction was advanced by the work of the National Reading Panel (NRP), assigned by Congress in 1997 to review the available research. Setting high standards for research quality, the NRP examined more than 460 studies to extract the essential findings about what has been scientifically proven to work in reading instruction

Raising A Readeris a "take-home" book bag program, implemented through child care settings via a ready-to-use Classroom Kit. The program aims to encourage families in an easy, engaging, and non-intimidating manner to establish a regular reading routine at home that excites parents and their preschool children. It aims to engage parents of all types, including those with poor reading skills. Children in the program receive a colorful book bag with three books that they borrow for one week. Each week they return the books and receive new ones. The Raising A Reader program has been implemented in a variety of San Mateo County, California, child care centers. The program costs $95 per child to start the program and $20 per child to sustain the program each year.

The Raising Readers program, funded by the Libra Foundation, recognizes the importance of early childhood literacy and has been designed to reach Maine children by taking advantage of the strong relationship between parents, children, and their health care providers. Each newborn in Maine will receive a canvas bag with two new hardcover books from their primary care physician, and another new book at each regularly scheduled well child visit through age 5. By that time, children will have a mini-library of 12 special books to call their own. Raising Readersis the largest children’s book program ever undertaken in a single State. When fully operational, more than 160,000 books will be given out each year at a total cost of approximately $1 million. The program is administered through a joint effort between MaineHealth and Eastern Maine Health Care, through the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical Center and Eastern Maine Medical Center.

REACH Out and Read is a national non-profit program that builds on the special relationship between doctors and the parents of young children to support children’s language and literacy development. At well-child visits, from 6 mo. to 5 yrs., doctors and nurses provide information about the importance of reading aloud and give new, developmentally appropriate books to the children to take home. In the waiting room, volunteers read to children, modeling techniques for parents.
REACH Out and Read has provided the link between literacy and a healthy childhood to millions of children nationally since 1989. Special focus is on children growing up in poverty. Reach Out and Read re-inforces the parent’s role as the first and most important teacher, and gives parents the tools and techniques to help their children succeed.

In 1998 the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) developed the R.E.A.D.Y.
program to make parents of young children aware of the rapid pace of development
that occurs across the early years of a child’s life. The main component
of the program is the R.E.A.D.Y. kit, which contains materials for infants,
toddlers, and preschoolers. These include a quality children’s book; parent/child
learning activities; a reminder magnet; a list of enjoyable age-appropriate
books; a R.E.A.D.Y. brochure on the importance of engaging and reading to
young children; a child development guide; the I Am Your Child development
video tape; and, a music cassette of nursery rhymes and children’s favorite
songs. Legislative funding through 2001 provided for the development, production
and distribution of over 630,000 R.E.A.D.Y. kits to Michigan parents at no
cost to the families. Through corporate support and creative funding, the
R.E.A.D.Y. program continues to offer free distribution to Michigan’s at-risk
families. Distribution of these new kits takes place through programs offering
services to low-income families. The program has now developed a national
version of the kit.

Teen Read Week is an initiative of YALSA, the Young Adult Library Services Association. October 16-22, 2005 2004, the eighth year of the event will be celebrated.
Why is it important to celebrate? For a lot of reasons! Teens are not really reading for fun these days, and reading scores have not been improving for this age group over the last few decades. Also, it’s a great chance to let your school or your public library communities know how important teen services are! Let teens know the possibilities that exist within your doors, and within the covers of books. More than 1,400 school and public libraries have registered to participate in Teen Read Week each year.

BOOK DISTRIBUTION AND DONATION
Book Distribution Programs to Support Early Literacy: Many of these programs distribute children’s books (often at no cost) to parents in locations such as child care programs, hospitals, health clinics, doctors’ offices, libraries, shelters, as well as their own homes. Often, books are distributed through programs offering services to low income families. Some book distribution programs provide specialized training for early childhood caregivers and teachers. Training generally includes information on how to make sharing books interesting; how to use reading to develop language skills; and how to promote parental book sharing and reading.
