The Power of the Written Word. Books in Homes for Children
A home with books as an integral part of the way of life encourages children to read for pleasure and encourages discussion among family members about what they have read thereby providing children with information, vocabulary, imaginative richness, wide horizons and skills for discovery and play. We meet Peter Large, CEO of Books in Homes, a not for profit organisation which has provided over 2.7 million books to children in disadvantaged and remote communities across Australia. We learn how it works, how the books are selected and thee ways in which the program is supported. A great story enabled by many Rotary Clubs. www.booksinhomes.com.au
