Ferst Readers - Cherokee County

Ferst Readers - Cherokee County Non-profit organization providing free books to children in Cherokee county to help prepare preschool children for reading and learning success

Ferst Foundation for Childhood Literacy is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit founded in 1999 to address the growing problem of children from low-income communities entering kindergarten without basic early literacy skills and school readiness. By mailing a new, developmentally-appropriate book every month to children, birth to five, and providing parents with support material to encourage a language-rich envi

ronment in the home, we help build the foundation for a lifelong love of reading and learning. Our program is available at no cost to children from families of all income levels who live in participating areas. Children who reside outside of our participating areas can be a part of our unique program through our Ferst Readers subscription program. Ferst Readers is a thoughtful way to give the gift every child deserves – a lifetime love of reading and a foundation for a bright future through literacy.

Looking for new ideas when it comes to spending time together this holiday season? Check out this suggestion about wrapping books for each day/night!




Want to ensure to incorporate reading every night during this busy time of year? Individually wrap 25 children's books (Yes, they can be holiday books, but they don't have to be.) and number them 1-25. Then open one each night for a surprise and read it together! This is also a great math lesson in reading numbers, calendar activity and counting backwards. Happy reading!

Your Ferst Readers November books should be arriving any day! Don't forget, when the holidays are here, the mail runs a bit slower, so your book may not arrive until next week. While you wait, take time to read some of your child's past Ferst Readers favorites!
