Imagine a young child receiving a book in the mail every month until the age of five. What better way to say reading is important?

Children enrolled in the Ferst Program receive a new book every month in the mail until their 5th birthday.

Support Ferst Readers Lincoln, MS and help us make a difference in the lives of the children in our community.

Did you know that...

📚 61% of low-income families do not have a single book suitable for a child?
📚 Half of children from low-income communities start first grade up to two years behind their peers?
📚 In middle-income neighborhoods the ratio of books per child is 13 to 1, in low-income neighborhoods, the ratio is 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children?

The facts are staggering, but there are ways to help.
One way is to participate in Ferst Readers' "Adopt a Reader" initiative.

Children in the Ferst Readers literacy program receive a bookstore-quality, age-specific book and resources mailed to them at home every month until their fifth birthday.

If you would like for your donation to serve children in Lincoln County, please indicate “Lincoln County” when you make your donation. There are children right here in our community and all across the country just waiting for their opportunity to receive the gift of literacy. There are Ferst Readers programs in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Montana, South Carolina and Texas.
Going back to school is a GREAT time to provide the gift of literacy. Please adopt a reader today and make a positive impact via monthly books! For more information, visit: bit.ly/FR-AAR

Check out these awesome books from Ferst Readers for the month of November 2024!

Can you think of some questions to ask your little one as you read their new book?

You can look inside the Leap Into Books newsletter that comes with every Ferst Book.
You will see questions, vocabulary and fun activities to go with the book. Even if your child isn't talking yet, ask and answer the questions as you read. This way, your child grows up understanding that asking questions is something ALL good readers do!

Happy reading!
