LINKING
FAMILIES TO READING ACTIVITIES
Long before an infant babbles or says his/her first
word, he/she is developing skills needed to communicate
and eventually to read. Research shows that children who were
regularly exposed to reading materials at a very young age are
those who most often achieve early school success. Parents and
caregivers are their child’s first teacher and can set
the foundation for reading by providing activities even to very
young children. The Literacy Links project, supported by a grant
from the Early Learning Opportunity Act, offers Help Me Grow
families an opportunity to do just that!

their child’s early literacy experiences.
