Last school year, our Family Literacy Team mailed copies of Mary Englebreit’s Mother Goose Favorites to 100 families with preschool-age children at home. Families with two preschoolers also received a Donald Crews book and for a third child, a folktale favorite. We hope sharing these books with your preschoolers was a great part of your day! Our Family Literacy Team will again sponsor this literacy support for the 2011-12 school year.
