Donate Today Kingston Literacy & Skills is a non-profit , community based organization founded in 1977 that furthers the development and growth of adult and family literacy in Kingston and neighbouring communities. When you donate to Kingston Literacy & Skills, your donation remains in our community. Donations received support family literacy programs at Kingston Literacy & Skills. As the only organization in Kingston providing family literacy programming, Kingston Literacy & Skills offers a unique service. Our Family Literacy programs, offered free of charge (as are all of our programs), focus on providing parents with children 0-6 years of age learning opportunities to increase their use of language, reading, writing and numeracy skills both at home and in the community. One such program is our Reading And Parents Program (RAPP). It is a resource lending program designed to encourage family reading, and to help parents support their children’s emergent literacy development. In 2008-09 we reached 318 families and 496 children, delivering almost 2,000 books to families to read and discuss together. |
Although numerous studies indicate the importance of early literacy for children, Kingston Literacy & Skills receives no government funding for our on-going family literacy programs and must fund them solely through grants and donations from supporters like you.
