Welcome to Books in Homes Australia!
Elliot School, Northern
Territory
The Books in Homes Australia Programme aim is to empower
disadvantaged children through their choice of new books, promoting a
love of reading and much improved literacy skills.
In Australia, there are a
substantial number of children that start their formal education having
never seen a book. It is well
recognised that children who are given the chance to develop confidence
in their reading, will benefit more from their schooling and have a
wider scope of opportunities available to them in the future, to live a
productive and rewarding life.
Every participating child chooses
nine new quality books per year to take home and build their own home
libraries. Each book is
labelled “This Book Belongs To....” which emphasises ownership.
The Books in Homes Programme encourages a love of books.
It gives disadvantaged and remote communities an
educational resource to promote the joy that comes from reading. The
magic of a good story lasts a lifetime.
The Books in Homes
Programme
is implemented with passion and enthusiasm, providing educational
resources which enable children to break away from the poverty cycle in
which they were born and help them
realise
their full potential!!!
