chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	For many children, reading is a luxury not often experienced. To get books into their hands, ROR works with primary-care providers to emphasize to parents the importance of childhood literacy and its impsact on early education. Doctors give a book to the child at each checkup and tips and encouragement to parents. To keep this program operating, ROR accepts gently used and new childrens books.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	chatty, what a neat organization to learn about. I absolutely loved reading to my kids when they were little. It's so important for kids to have a love of books. Even with all the reading, only one of our three is an avid reader and it brings me tremendous joy. Who knows, maybe one day the others will get jazzed about it. One can only hope. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

That might be a good idea for when you're busy and can't put L in your lap. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
