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;
Yellow Better Beginnings Reading Pack - ages 0-2 and are delivered through child health nurses and available from the Library.
Orange 'Sing to Me' Better Beginnings Reading Pack - ages 2-3 years are delivered through child health nurses 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 book and information and resources for parents and carers.
If your child has not yet received their appropriate reading pack please contact the library on 99 56 6659 or library@cgg.wa.gov.au
