Carol McDougal Visits Hamilton
Nova Scotia's Read To Me! program
Sponsored by Hamilton Best Start
Carol McDougall, Director of the Nova Scotia Read To Me! program shared her wisdom over two evenings with professionals and parents across the Hamilton community. She discussed the successful Read To Me! program offered in Nova Scotia where every parent of a new born baby is presented with a bag of books before they leave the hospital. She enlightened all on when to read, what to read to very young children and how to build good family reading routines. She drove home the message that it's never too early for books.
