Guide to Children’s Literacy

Posted by on April 16, 2004

PHILADELPHIA READS, in collaboration with the Division of Community Based Prevention Services of the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services (DHS), has developed a comprehensive database of information focused on children’s literacy. The resultant ? Reading Resources: What to Know and Where to Go for Children’s Literacy – is an easy to read and navigate guide for use by the community to identify children’s literacy supports.

This guide will provide knowledge and access to many parents, teachers and social workers frustrated because of their inability to locate literacy enrichment services that will best meet their child’s needs. The guide will ensure that caregivers have the information they need to make educated decisions about after-school care and supplemental education services that enhance their child’s learning both inside and outside of the classroom. The guide will be available online at http://www.phila.gov/philareads. If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Galbally at (215) 686-4450.

Thanks,
