Importance of Reading
How important is literacy to you? Your children? Reading is a bedtime ritual for us, and I’m amazed at how much my boys pick up from reading books. Cheerios Spoon Full of Stories program is all about getting kids to read while teaching parents and kids how important it is to read together. I have these two little boys to teach, and I admire companies stepping up with programs to help them learn and grow.
About the Program
Over the past eight years, Cheerios has given away more than 40 million children´s books by distributing them free inside cereal boxes and has donated $3.2 million to First Book, their non-profit partner, which provides books to children from low-income families. The program is part of Cheerios´ ongoing commitment to helping parents provide their children with a healthy, nutritional and educational foundation.
Beginning this month, Cheerios is again bringing books to the breakfast table, by providing six million children´s books free inside Cheerios boxes. The books are for children ages 3 to 8 years old, and include a brand new book in the popular “Trucktown” series, available only inside Cheerios boxes. And for the first time, all five books have been specially printed in both English and Spanish.
Books included inside Cheerios Boxes include:
- Junkyard Fort
- Tea for Ruby
- Sleepyhead
- Ballyhoo Bay
- What’s Under the Bed
My Blog Spark and Cheerios sent us a great a Spoonful of Stories Gift pack, and one of you will win one as well!
