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.
2011 One Book, One Summit~Every Young Child
The Summit County Family Fun Literacy Coalition is proud to announce the One Book, One Summit~Every Young Child book selection for 2011—Margaret and Margarita by Lynn Reiser. Margaret and Margarita is a bilingual children’s book about two girls who speak different languages, yet learn to be friends. This colorful story was selected to be distributed to children ages birth-five years old in licensed child care and preschool programs in Summit County. One Book, One Summit~Every Young Child is a community effort to promote a love of books and reading to all young children.
On Thursday, April 28th 800 copies of Margaret and Margarita will be distributed throughout Summit County. Volunteers will read the story at child care centers, family child homes and preschool programs.
