At-home Reading Enrichment Book Bags, Swift River Elementary School

Reading to a child during the critical early years of reading development produces many positive benefits. It can significantly increase vocabulary, improve writing and critical thinking skills, and can even help children wind down before bed time. This grant funds books, bags and other materials to ensure all first grade students have constant access to books at home throughout the school year. Each week, all 140 first graders may bring home a new book bag containing three books on similar topics. The book kits will be reused every year, providing lasting impact into the future. More grants…
