Better Beginnings Program
Better Beginnings is a Western Australian family literacy program that connects families with books through free reading packs. Our goal is to inspire a love of literacy and learning for all W.A. children by encouraging families to read, talk, sing, write and play with their child every day.
The program has been developed by The State Library of Western Australia and is funded by the State Government of Western Australia, Royalties for Regions, Rio Tinto and Western Australian Local Governments.
The program delivers free reading packs to young children and consists of three stages:
 |
For ages 0-2 and are delivered through child health nurses and available from the Library.
|
 |
For ages 2-3 years are delivered through child health nurses and available from the Library.
|
 |
For ages 3-4 years and delivered through local schools.
These packs contain a quality Australian picture book and information and resources for parents and carers.
|
If your child has not yet received their yellow or orange reading pack, please visit or contact the Library.
