Ferst Readers of Carroll County

Ferst Readers of Carroll County A Child's path to a brighter future is paved with books. mail. As research consistently shows, parent engagement is key to early learning success.

Preschool children, ages birth to five, registered with the Ferst Readers program receive a free, age-appropriate book at their homes monthly via U.S. Parents, educators, child development specialists and Ferst Readers staff carefully select these books each year for our Read to Me Library™. We are proud that three-quarters of our books are published in Georgia, and that many Georgia authors are i

ncluded in our book selections. A newsletter accompanies each book, with activity pages for the child, but more importantly, essential information for the parent. Our monthly newsletters are county specific, so it is a wonderful way to promote literacy/reading events locally, as well as recognize our sponsors publicly and on a regular basis. We also support families with young children with a program we call “Conversations Count.” We provide training and tools to help others work with and teach new parents the importance of early learning and how they can help their child learn. Parents are the child’s first teacher! We want to help parents with that role.
