Words Grow Minds
Words Grow Minds is a South Australian government-funded campaign that gets straight to the heart of how parents and caregivers can help babies and young children thrive. Its simple message of Talk, Read, Play and Sing is supported by our library collections and our early literacy programs for children from birth to school age.
To learn more about how to support your children, see the Words Grow Minds website to access their free family resources.

Reading aloud with your child has proven to be one of the most valuable activities you can do to set your child up for success and encourage them to love reading for life. In this challenge, we encourage you to read 1001 books with your child before they start school.
