The focus is to increase family involvement in reading to enhance school achievement. Family reading kits are provided to children from low and moderate income families. They may have limited books at home and not have the opportunity to use public libraries regularly. The kits consist of 2 new books, information for the parent on reading with children, simple activities the parent and child can do together, and craft materials to draw a picture about the book. They are placed in zippered plastic bags, which are decorated with cheerful stickers. For children in stressful situations, a cuddly stuffed animal is included so the children have something comforting to hold while they're reading.The books are then packed up and delivered to agencies with programs for these children. The packets have been used as part of summer reading programs, as rewards for completing work with a reading buddy, and as celebrations for book weeks. Over 30,000 books have been distributed in the Dutchess County area. During the workshop, books will be sorted, labels will be placed in books, kits will be packaged, and they'll be prepared for delivery.
