KEEP BOOKS OSU

Description:

KEEP BOOKS are an option for educators and literacy organizations to build classroom and take-home book programs for PreK-Grade 2 children that are meaningful and purposeful. Children will enjoy reading these grade-appropriate books in class and taking them home to re-read. Sending Keep Books home provides extra reading, helps children see themselves as successful readers, and builds a bridge between a child’s most important worlds—school and home.

Programs and Services:

KEEP Books are little books designed for the literacy needs of children Pre-Kindergarten to mid-second grade. Created and written by literacy educators at The Ohio State University to deepen at home connections, and build classroom reading libraries that promote a love of reading. KEEP BOOKS make it possible to quickly build a child’s home library to ensure reading at home and at school. A variety of titles are available in both English and Spanish. We also offer laminated Big Books measuring 8.5" x 11" that are ideal for classroom and community education settings for children who may need larger format books. Our catalog also features titles that introduce children to the concepts of health, nutrition and safety that are a great resource for community health organizations in need of quality support materials to help children and families build a love of reading and health and safety awareness at home. Each book includes ideas for additional activities after reading the book or offer recipes. This is a way to connect how literacy plays a role in everyday life and offers practical ways for building positive literacy environment at home.
