LITERACY
The Bridge to Literacy Project connects children at risk for illiteracy
with sponsors who want to help get books into these children's hands.
As a children’s author, I am giving 100% of my time and proceeds from
Read to Me! and The Same Heart to the Bridge2Literacy Project.
I invite you to be a part of the Bridge2Literacy Team!
We can make a difference one child and one book at a time.
When you read these books to a child, three things happen:
they learn reading skills, they learn values, and they feel loved.

Literacy Facts
Did you know? The more books a child owns or borrows
from the library, the more years a child will spend in school.
The most important time to read to a child is from birth to five
years old. But there are benefits to reading together at every age.
If children read well by the third grade, they
• are happier, healthier, and more confident
• are more involved in safe, positive activities
• get better grades in every subject
• are more likely to graduate from high school
• get better jobs and help create better communities
• develop a better ability to focus
• grow up to have more successful families
When you take a little time to read to your child today,
you make a big difference in the future.
Children are our best investment in making a difference in the lives
of individuals and our communities.
Encourages the love of reading.
Promotes love of self and others.
Education and love are the best foundation
we can provide for our children.
