Amy G.- Home Visiting
Home Visiting works with parents to read to their children at early ages, assists with providing appropriate learning materials such as books, and we are involved with the parents and children’s activities and all factors associated with positive child development. We teach and partner with families in the upbringing of healthy children and our vision is that all children will learn, grow, and develop to realize their full potential.

I conduct weekly in home visits with families of children under 3 years old, and these visits always contain books!! Early language and literacy will set children on a strong path of learning. Book share builds attachment, receptive language, rhythm, self-awareness, fine motor skills.... the list goes on. It is the primary way to learn for the rest of the child's life.
These books will be given to the 66 families of the program, here in rural north central Pennsylvania. Home visiting is an amazing way to encourage parents to have a strong role in their children's education. I feel books are a wonderful way to achieve this important task.
Thank you so very much for the generous gift of books and literacy,

These books will be a great addition to our preschool classrooms! They will help expand our book selection for our young learners! Our students love to look at books and hear them read aloud. I am so excited to have been chosen for this giveaway!

I am the Family Support Specialist for a Pre-K Expansion program and do a lot of Parent/Child activities and events. I use books as giveaways to those families that attend the events. I also have a Lending Library that families are able to check out books and resources from. Another way we use books is for the Pre-K teachers. They ask me if I have a book that can fit a specific situation that they might be having with a child or a family.

Thank you for the gift, my team and I have been using Books by the Bushel for years now.
These books are used for our clinic patients here at theHospital. Reach Out and Read believes that waiting room time should not be wasted time, as well as making early literacy an important part of every well-child visit. With that said, we give out books at every pediatric visit, and have extended to prenatal patients as well to begin fostering nurturing connections and early literacy as soon as the baby can hear, at 20 weeks gestational period. We also give books to all our new parents in the nursery.

Wow, this is truly incredible! Winning this book giveaway means so much to me, especially knowing that it will directly benefit families in the Motheread/Fatheread program. I'm deeply appreciative of this opportunity to make an impact to such a meaningful cause. Reading has always been a passion of mine, and to think that these books will help families connect and learn together warms my heart.
Thank you immensely for organizing this giveaway and for supporting programs like C. County First Steps and Motheread/Fatheread. It's initiatives like these that make a real difference in communities, and I'm honored to be a part of it, even in this small way. I look forward to seeing the positive impact these books will have on the families involved.

Tammy M. - U.P. Health Department
Great news for the kiddos and families who visit the health department and the families we visit through our home visiting programs. When children come in to get up to date on their immunizations, they feel uneasy and when mom (or their caregiver) sits down with them and brings their attention into the book she is reading, this will help ease some of that uneasy feeling. And for our home visiting programs, our families will enjoy the same experience with the books you have provided to us. Thank you!

We plan to use these books in a few ways: give to children in our SOAR United reading tutoring program, give away at an upcoming Community Literacy Day, and/or stock local Little Free Libraries in low-income areas. Thanks!

Jaci C. - OACAC Head Start
This donation of children's books will be invaluable to our non-profit school. These books will spark their imagination and foster a love of reading from an early age. Access to a diverse collection of age-appropriate books will support language development, enhance vocabulary, and stimulate cognitive growth, all while making learning fun. These books will create a warm and inviting reading corner where children can explore stories together, cultivating social skills and a sense of community. Thank you so much Books by the Bushel!

Good Morning- Thank you so much !!! This is very exciting!! We are so pleased to be able to share these books with all ouor little ones at the center. We have a curriculum for all ages from Infants thru Pre-K and we are always reading to the children. The children are using their libraries in their classroom and always "reading" to their friends or dolls. This will be a great addition.

Kristi W.-Head Start
Wow! Thank you so much for this gift. Our program works with mostly low income families that often don’t have money for books, so we try to do a free book give away a few times a year. It is getting harder to provide those books due to lack of resources that we used to have, so this is so very appreciated. It is wonderful to be able to provide books along with our practice of helping families learn about all the ways that reading can build their child’s brain and sense of connection.

I work for a preschool with over 100 children (it’s a 50/50 split of typical developing and special needs). I set up a book rack near the front entrance to the daycare with a sign encouraging families to choose a book to take home for their own library. The kids love it and the books fly off the shelf.
Thank you so much!!
