下でコピペを載せますが,簡単に説明すると,「NYC imagination Library」というところが,NY在住の0~5歳の子供に毎月対象年齢に合った本を無料で送りますよ,という素晴らしい企画です.とに角,お父さんお母さんが子供達にしっかり読み聞かせをすることが,子供の読み書き能力や語学力に欠かせないものだから,送った本をしっかり読んでやってくださいよ!と言うことです(そんな押し付けがましくは言ってないけど…)..
5歳までず~っと毎月毎月ですよ!すご~い,太っ腹!本が届くのが楽しみだわ.
ってことで,私も息子と娘と2人分登録したので,毎月2冊!
NY在住の方は是非!
The NYC Imagination Library is an initiative of the NYC Dept. of Education. The goal is to promote the development of emergent literacy and language skills that are important for every child's success in school by encouraging all NYC parents to read aloud to their children from birth until age five.
Parents can enroll their preschool child (age 0 to 5 yrs) in the NYC Imagination Library and a new, carefully selected, age-appropriate book will be mailed each month in the child's name directly to the family's home. Books will begin arriving six to eight weeks after a registration form has been received, and will continue every month until the child turns five.
Enroll at: www.nycimaginationlibrary.org
Children are eligible for this program as long as they live within the five boroughs of NYC.
