Dear Pre-K Parents,
Exciting news! A Raise the Reader form was sent home with each Pre-K student. This program provides FREE books for your child! All you need to do is read together—it’s that simple and so much fun!
If you have a 3- to 5-year-old at home who isn’t in Pre-K but would love to receive a bag of books each week, let us know! Reach out to Debra Smith, and she’ll be happy to get you started on this wonderful reading journey.
Let’s inspire a love of reading together!
Warmly,
Debra Smith, ECC
