IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc3Raising A Reader (5512):The Raising A Reader program promotes improved literacy development through daily book sharing between caregivers and young children. Childcare centers, child care homes, or other community sites with a high percentage of low-income children will be targeted and will loan identified families a book bag containing high quality, developmentally appropriate children's books. For FY 22-23, 184 children from 11 classrooms at 7 facilities participated.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc4Dolly Patron's Imagination Library (5526): The Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL) promotes literacy skills through a partnership with the Dollywood Foundation. Children can receive the books regardless of the family income. Craven Smart Start became an affiliate for the DPIL in February of 2017.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc5Reach Out and Read (5523): Craven Smart Start began to collaborate with two Craven County Health Departments to provide pre-literacy opportunities for children and their parents in January of 2018. The participating trained medical care providers will voluntarily incorporate Reach Out and Read (ROR), an evidence-based model, into young children's regular pediatric checkups or well-child visits. The medical care providers will implement ROR in their practices according to the National ROR guidelines. During each of the routine visits, children will receive a new, culturally- and developmentally appropriate book to take home and read with their parents. The medical care providers will discuss the importance of reading, model reading a book aloud to the child, and encourage parent-child interactions as part of pre-literacy and language development. The program begins at the child's 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphasis on children growing up in low-income communities. Medical practices will participate in the parent survey period and submit parent surveys to ROR Carolinas.
