We are looking for volunteers to help with this project. The work involves adding labels to books and assembling the small libraries. We will drop off and pick up the materials so that you can work at home on your own schedule. Thanks for your consideration. --Mike
Create ~150 small home libraries of bilingual developmental, read-aloud, and picture books for preschool children in the homes of local Hispanic families in the Columbia, SC, and Waxhaw, NC communities. The goal of this project is to improve the school readiness of Hispanic children ages 4 and 5 while instilling in them a love for reading and books.
Bilingual books have been chosen so that non-English speaking Hispanic parents and their English-speaking school-age children are both able to read aloud to the preschool children in the home. This serves to improve their language skills while strengthening the emotional bonds between the family members.
