The ABCs of
Book Blast

Start the building blocks of reading excitement. Early learners are already wide-eyed for stories, songs and new discoveries. That makes it the perfect time to begin building their shelves at home. And with kindergarten just a blink away, Book Blast helps turn that enthusiasm into books they can keep and a smoother step toward what’s next.

What’s Book Blast?

Excitement has a way of catching on. Book Blast is a center-wide literacy program that helps families bring that energy home with brand-new books chosen especially for little learners. Each developmentally appropriate title picked by experts gives parents an easy way to turn storytime into quality time.

Loved ones near and far can chip in to support their early learner. The books arrive right at your early learning center, ready for families to take home and enjoy together. Then, cue the silly voices, favorite pages, and “read it again” requests! It’s a great way to build a relationship with reading that can grow right along with them.
