“There is no substitute for books in the life of a child”
— Mary Ellen Chase—
Every child deserves to become a strong reader. You can help put a free book in the hands of a child in Washington County age 0-5 every month with an annual sponsorship.
Here at Literacy Volunteers of Washington County, we believe the best gift you can give a young learner is the gift of literacy. Why?
Gifting literacy to children is a proven way to give them more opportunities. How? Early contact with the written language is a crucial element in doing well at school and spending time reading.
Children who have books of their own at an early age, develop language skills, grow their vocabulary, and have their imaginations aroused. They learn to love to read, and then they read to learn.
Through our partnership with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, your gift of $13 will provide a years’ worth of free books to one child in Washington County and make a powerful impact on their life.
Please consider sponsoring a child today.
