Read to Me! - Literacy development begins at birth
Currently speaking is Carol McDougall, who represents the Read to Me! Nova Scotia Family Literacy Program. Read to Me! is a program that ensures that parnets and babies are given literacy kits at the hospital within 24 hours of birth. This encourages parents to begin to read to their children right from the start, which in turn develops positive habits and routines.
The Read to Me! program is a great example of positive programming happening at the grassroots level in the Nova Scotia community. Watch a short clip from Carol’s presentation below.
