Description:
This report presents the results of the pilot evaluation of the first year of the One Book, Every Young Child program which the Family and Children's Policy Collaborative at Temple University conducted at the request of the Pennsylvania Office of Commonwealth Libraries. In April 2006, the Office of Commonwealth Libraries launched the One Book, Every Young Child program in an effort to improve the literacy skills of preschool aged children by modeling interactive activities centered on story book reading. In this pilot evaluation we evaluated three components of the program: the author visits, book mailers, and the website. In addition, we explored the parent recognition of Inside Mouse, Outside Mouse (IMOM) by Lindsay Barrett George (2004), and the literacy activities of a sample of low income families.
