The bookshelves display the front covers of books for easy visual and physical access by young children. The 30 books are new, hard cover, and developmentally appropriate. The selection includes books that are language-diverse and culturally relevant. Each book is reviewed and selected to assure that it supports vocabulary and background knowledge development. Book Cubbies: BMAB works with community partners to promote family engagement and improved literacy in low-income households by making it possible for every young child to have good books at home and a place to keep them. The BMAB Book Cubby program provides a small bookcase that parents and children paint and decorate together at the Book Cubby workshop. Each child selects his/her own high quality books to promote the joy of books and reading. The program includes discussions with parents about the importance of reading aloud for brain development, increased vocabulary, reading school success, and parent-child bonding.Book Giveaways: BMAB works with our partner preschools, child development centers, community colleges and nonprofit organizations to coordinate small and large scale book giveaways. Community organizations provide volunteers.

Our families come from low-income, under-resourced communities serving children living in poverty who have significantly less access to printed materials than their more advantaged peers. Bring Me a Book is unique in that it continues to address the three main issues interfering with young poverty learners pre-reading development; 1) lack of high quality books (number/selection) in early childhood classes and poverty homes; 2) lack of parent support to understand/practice pre-literacy home activities; and 3) lack of teacher expertise to increase their own & parents read-aloud and other pre-literacy skills. Southern California implements a fully integrated set of resources and training-to ensure that our resources actually provide the support, build confidence, and ensure parental/caregiver home early literacy skill development, a stronger bridge between home and school, and expands early literacy competencies. Southern California programs include the Classroom Bookcase Library, a 30-Week bilingual/multi-cultural Take Home Book Bag Program, Professional Development to develop Early literacy skills and reading aloud and First Teachers Parenting Workshops that focus on the importance of reading aloud and the skills developed through conversation and discussion, modeling reading, and mitigating home challenges to reading aloud. Since 2013, well over 15,000 children have graduated from the 30-week in home reading program. This year 5,383 families utilized the Take Home Book program, supporting families to share and bond over literature, language development, and discussion. Additionally, 265 Teachers participated in Professional Development sessions at partnership sites, and just under 800 families have had a parent/caretaker attend at least one First Teacher Workshops to develop skills that support their childs school success. 12474 Reading Bonanza In The Park: Reading Bonanza in the Park is a grass roots effort of volunteers and community organizations seeking to provide a big impact event that will have ripple effects in address the problem of low reading levels in low income communities, specifically East Palo Alto.
