This report represents the results of a pilot evaluation of the first year of the One Book, Every Young Child program which was conducted by the Family and Children's Policy Collaborative at Temple University at the request of the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Office of Commonwealth Libraries. In the following pages, we first present a brief overview of the importance and benefits of early literacy development, a description of the One Book, Every Young Child program and its significance to the early childhood learning community. We then present the evaluation of the program's outreach through author's visits to area libraries, museums and early childhood workshops, child care facility book mailings and utilization of the One Book, Every Young Child website. We also provide some information concerning the recognition of the One Book, Every Young Child book of choice by a sample of low-income parents and their literacy activities with their children. Next, we summarize the significant successes of the evaluation and the difficulties we encountered. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for future programs and their evaluations.
