Early Childhoods Options works with several other local agencies–Colorado Mountain College, Family & Intercultural Resource Center, and Summit County Rotary–to organize Family Fun Literacy Fairs for families with young children. Events include activities designed to promote early literacy skills and a free children’s book for participants to take home.
One Book, One Summit~Every Young Child
In June 2010 the Family Fun Literacy Committee sponsored the 1st Annual “One Book, One Summit~Every Young Child” event. This community effort was designed to promote a love of books and reading to all young children. The book selected for this event was Rin, Rin Rin/Do, Re, Mi by Jose-Luis Orozco and David Diaz. This book was distributed to all children 0-5 years old in Summit County. This year’s event was held in honor of Terry Ihlenfeld, Summit County Rotarian and long standing community advocate for children and reading.
If you have ideas and/or suggestions for the 2011 “One Book, One Summit~Every Young Child” book selection, please contact Johanna Kugler at 970-513-1170 ext 313 or johanna@earlychildhoodoptions.org. Our goal is to select a bilingual children’s book each year.
