Dolly Parton Imagination Library Programs in Grimsby and in Cleethorpes
Rotary’s service partnership with The Dollywood Foundation’s Dolly Parton Imagination Library provides opportunities to collaborate in support of basic education by fostering a lifelong love of reading and learning from an early age. Through this partnership, children receive access to age-appropriate reading materials to help establish a strong educational foundation early in life. Every child needs to read. It is the bed rock of early years learning. We need to encourage children to read with parents. By reading to your children, you'll do wonders for their development. Speaking and listening are the building blocks of literacy having a direct effect on a child's reading and writing ability. Reading is the basis of a civilised society which open doors. The Dolly Parton Imagination Library is one of the best ways I know to get children and books together.
Our primary goal is: To enhance families’ home literacy environment to promote more parent/family involvement in early literacy. It is our hope to provide a rich literacy environment for young children and to foster meaningful and nurturing parent-child interactions that result from reading together. Our secondary goal is: To foster relationships between families with young children and their future schools to facilitate children’s transition. This Early Intervention initiative should produce a better educated child coming through the school system; one that has not been left behind requiring extra teaching in order to constantly having to catch up. In due course the literacy level in the city will rise. Every child needs to read. It is the bed rock of early years learning. We need to encourage children to read with parents.
