Bulloch County Literacy Council
The Bulloch County Literacy Council is a collaborative group of educators, representatives from literacy organizations, business and civic organization leaders, and community volunteers. Its purpose is to sustain a community collaborative that works to increase Kindergarten readiness for students from birth through Pre-Kindergarten and to support the improvement of literacy levels for all children in Kindergarten through fifth grade.
The Literacy Council's Bulloch READ initiative:
- Reading: Encourage the creation of Reading nooks.
- Environment: Encourage a literacy-rich Environment.
- Access: Increase Access to book and reading resources.
- Development: Increase early brain Development.
The Bulloch County Literacy Council encourages the creation of reading nooks as part of its Bulloch READ initiative. A reading nook is a comfortable place that is set aside where children can enjoy reading. It can be as simple as a corner of a room or a special chair with a basket of books. Visit this area of our website to learn more about our Reading Nook Photo Contest, or how your business can create a reading nook for families.
