We launched our Read First! project early in June with the selection of ten communities that will focus their attention and efforts on increasing the number of children being read to by parents and other adults. The project grew out of conversations about what it would take to change the way family reading is valued in a community. How could we capture the attention of everyone in the community, spread information and ideas about family reading, and reach even those families who do not usually participate in reading or book-based activities? Representatives from the ten READ First! communities gathered on June 16th & 17th to learn more about the project and begin planning activities.
