Quality Learning NB greeted spring this year by giving out books to participants of preschool children at both the monthly Games Night offered by FACE (Family and Child Education) and the Babies in the Library (Saint John Free Public Library) outreach at Glen Falls school.
We believe book ownership is an important part of helping young children and families put reading and writing in their quality worlds; joining what Frank Smith calls "the literacy club."* We were fortunate to be able to purchase some very effective books with money provided through a fund jointly established by BEST (Building an Early Start Together), the New Brunswick Children's Foundation and the Greater Saint John Community Foundation. Popular give-aways included well loved classics such as Goodnight Gorilla, Dear Zoo, Where's Spot and Goodnight Moon.
