The Building Blocks of Literacy
Reading education resources from the nation's Public Broadcasting System
Launching Young Readers
Our nation's premiere Public Broadcasting System (PBS) television station, WETA, has an award-winning series called, Launching Young Readers. Its innovative half-hour programs explore how children learn to read, why some struggle, and strategies that parents, caregivers, volunteers, and teachers can use to help.
Toddling Toward Reading
Toddling Toward Reading, hosted by Reba McIntyre, is an episode of Launching Young Readers. Start early to grow strong readers.
Early Literacy Development
Reading Rockets offers many resources that parents, family members, and caregivers can use at home before a child reaches the classroom.
What is Phonological Awareness?
Bulloch County Community Literacy Partner Spotlight
A highlight about a community partner whose work helps improve literacy in Bulloch County.
Altrusa International of Statesboro
Statesboro's Altrusa chapter makes its impact with a variety of service, literacy, fundraising and international projects each year. Their literacy efforts benefit Bulloch County Schools' students and families. The chapter has donated nearly 40,000 free books through classroom donations and by placing books in the free meal packs that Bulloch County Schools' most at risk elementary students receive each weekend through the Backpack Buddies program. If you are interested in becoming an Altrusa member or want to partner with the club's community efforts, contact the club president.
Get Georgia Reading
Get Georgia Reading is a statewide public-private partnership that seeks to bring awareness and resources to Georgians to address the problem of illiteracy in our state's young children. In Georgia, two-thirds of third-grade children are unable to read on grade level. This is due to the growing number of children who lack basic early literacy skills when they enter Pre-K and Kindergarten, a foundation that must be built between birth and five years old to help ensure children learn to read well and meet grade-level milestones. Only 49.8 percent of Bulloch County Schools' third-grade students and 69.6 percent of its eighth-grade students can read on grade level. Get reading in our community to ensure our children are on track to achieve grade-level literacy.
