The child receives books until the age of 6 and you can see the list of books here. You can choose to pay $20 a year for your child to be in the program or you can request for a scholarship and receive the books for free.
This has been a great program for us and well worth the $20 each year. And somehow we ended up receiving two packets every quarter, so Daulton gets to decide where the extra books go. Sometimes he decides to give them to a friend or he takes them to his mommy's house where he can read them there.
Reading together has been a great way for us to spend time together and for Daulton to improve his reading skills. He had enough confidence in his reading skills to take several books to school and read them to his class.
This program serves children in Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Marion and Morgan counties.
That's awesome, Ab! I am actually in a graduate program for education/literacy, so it's always neat to learn about these types of things. It's great to know for parents at school, too! Thanks for sharing!:)
