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.

Encourages the love of reading.

Promotes love of self and others.

 

 Be a part 
of the
Team
1. Read to a child! Any place is a great place to read! 2. Buy a book! When you buy a book, 
we give a book to a child at risk for illiteracy. 3. Sponsor a book! Talk with Chris about helping fund her next 
book to be given to parenting organizations and 
children's literacy programs. For every dollar we invest 
in early education, we save $8 
in future social services.

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.
