celebrating 10 years 2000 2010

raising readers is for all children in Maine, birth to age five, regardless of means. Children receive a beautiful new book each time they go for a well child checkup with their doctor or healthcare provider. Reading aloud to children, even from infancy, helps their small brains grow and develop and starts them on the path to literacy and good health.
