The Senior Action Team of the Monument Community
Partnership currently does 10 Story Time readings a week to
preschool children in the Monument corridor. Our trained volunteer
readers read in schools, ESL classes and apartment complexes.
our program would be enhanced if the readers had new quality
books to give to the children for their very own. We would like
parents to read to their young children. We would include a
simple flyer in Spanish on how to read these simple picture
books to their children. |

I will expand the lending library by adding both
books and developmental toys. I will also have another Literacy
Day with the students. The Literacy Day will have a storyteller
at it so that students can bring their children to class for
storytime. I will teach about the importance of reading to your
child and how it will increase their reading skills and also
start the love for books in their children at a young age. I
will also give students books and developmental toy on this
day to start their own library at home. |
