Link to August 14 Green Bay Post-Gazette article, "BookWings program aims to give preschoolers a love of the written word".Excerpt: Head Start teachers Nicky Malicoat and Debbie Gustafson noticed a troublesome trend a few years ago while visiting their young students' homes.
Quite a few families didn't have books. Those who did often didn't have a place to store them and prevent damage.
The realization was part of the pair's motivation for starting BookWings, a preschool literacy camp at the Howe Neighborhood Family Resource Center in Green Bay. The program teaches 3-and 4-year-olds early literacy skills and — the teachers hope — a love of the written word.
