On Your Own Hours
Early Learning Coalition’s Literacy Buddy Program
Children in preschool programs in Sarasota County are paired with a volunteer who agrees to receive letters from a child. In turn, the volunteer sends a letter and a book to this child in response to the child’s letter. In the letter from the child, he or she indicates a specific book or interest that he or she would like to receive a book about. These exchanges take place three times over the course of the school year.
