• Any literary activity counts. Reading together or alone, aloud or silently, listening to audio books, magazines, poems, writing stories, etc.

Early literacy begins at home because parents are

children’s first teachers. To highlight early literacy

skills for preschoolers, Pennsylvania kicks-off the

One Book Every Young Child Reads

campaign each spring, and

Royersford Free Public Library is

celebrating all April-long!

This year’s featured book is

Number One Sam, by Greg Pizzoli.

Listen to the book at story time.

Enjoy related activities, story-

stretchers, crafts, puppets, and

games. Then try your own early

literacy activities at home.

Find out how to use reading in

your child’s everyday activities @

www.paonebook.org.

See how easy it is to develop early literacy skills at home based on your children’s favorite stories.

Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat

Register for Family Reading Month and your family will receive one paperback copy of

Number One Sam, by Greg Pizzoli. While supplies last.

Making sure your child develops early literacy skills is as easy as

singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing with them as much as possible. . . .

Check the days your family reads for 20 minutes. Families earn one chance for the weekly drawing for every five marks.
