Starting early. Most summer reading programs begin in the 1st grade, while My First Library starts the summer before. This creates a bridge that helps negate the “summer slide” which accounts for as much as 85% of the reading achievement gap between lower-income students and their middle and upper-income peers.

It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. There’s no greater gift to a child than teaching him or her to read. There’s also no more important academic skill. That’s why My First Library, our foundational literacy program, is a vital component of our work in schools, supporting children whose families often do not have the resources to properly nurture a proficiency in and love of reading. Through My First Library, kindergarten students are invited to choose ten high-quality, grade-level summer reading books at an end-of-the-year book fair. The program is distinct from other reading programs in these ways:

Reading books and singing rhymes with young children is crucial to early years development. It helps children to build their language skills, imagination and understanding of the world. Reading regularly to children, particularly at a young age can have a positive lifelong impact, benefiting their health and wellbeing, creativity and education.”Starting school is another key milestone and all children starting nursery or reception in September are invited to visit a Hertfordshire library to be awarded their My First Day at School certificate to celebrate this new adventure.
