Literacy Program

The Importance of Early Literacy

Building early literacy skills can set your child up for successful lifelong learning. Literacy programs can help with higher book knowledge, expressive language, more phonemic awareness, better rhyming and higher overall literacy, which is why it is so important for the CCSQCA to provide books to as many children as possible beginning with infancy. 

Board member, Cindy Corrigan, who taught preschool and kindergarten for many years know the importance students beginning their education on a strong foundation. She recently wrote an interactive book, Calvin and Kaiser's Very Busy Day, to help children and parents prepare for entry into kindergarten.
