How this cause brings people in the community together
It is our hope that every child, regardless of language, cultural, or economic differences, will develop a healthy love of reading, have a proficient vocabulary and begin school with the early literacy skills that are important for academic success. Sharing books together in the home will also strengthen the parent-child bond. There are also benefits for the community. The long-term economic and cost-saving benefits of a proactive approach to early literacy are substantial in the potential for: reducing the need for costly educational programmes to address the needs of struggling students, contributing to the lowering rates of social problems, and developing the skills of North East Lincolnshire's workforce.
