Better Beginnings is a state wide family literacy program that supports and involves parents in their child's early Summer Reading Clubliteracy learning and builds community awareness of the value and enjoyment of reading and sharing stories with young children.

Orange 'Sing to Me' Better Beginnings Reading Pack - ages 2-3 years and available from the library.
Green Better Beginnings Kindy Reading Pack - ages 3-4 years and delivered through local schools.
These packs contain a quality Australian picture, and information and resources for parents and carers.
