Read Rover and Read Rover Plus
Read Rover and Read Rover Plus support BCPL's mission to foster a lifelong
love of reading in children. This is accomplished through our monthly visits to
licensed day care providers. Each month we perform a story time and help
providers to check out materials. Our story time programs incorporate
pre-reading skills which prepare the children for entering school. Also, our
storytellers model successful techniques during the programs to teach day care
providers important early literacy skills that they can then share with the
children and their parents. Themed flyers are distributed each month which
contain our booklists, reading tips, a rhyme or fingerplay, and a craft. Picture
books, teacher resources, easy non-fiction, concept books, CDs, DVDs, and
storytelling materials are all available for checkout to further support this
goal.
