Getting involved

There is a two stage process for becoming involved and implementing Let’s Read in your community.

1. An "Expression of Interest", and
2. Developing a "Community Plan" and signing an "Agreement to deliver Let’s Read"

If you are keen to become involved and implement Let’s Read into your community, please download and read the Expression of Interest Information Pack and then complete and return the Let's Read Expression of Interest form.

The Let’s Read National Implementation Coordinator will contact you when this form is received.

The nominated contact person, as shown on the Expression of Interest form, will be supplied with a “Planning to Implement Information Pack”. This pack walks a community through developing a "Community Plan" (how Let's Read will be set up and run in the local community) and a copy of the “Agreement to deliver Let’s Read”.

The Let’s Read National Implementation Coordinator will be able to support you to work through this information and reach a final decision about the implementation of Let’s Read into your community.

Resources Sample Kit Available

For communities who are planning to implement Let’s Read, there is a Resources Sample Kit available for borrowing. This is available on request from the Operations Manager on (03) 9473 4366.

The kit is intended to be used to promote the Let’s Read program to potential partners and funders of your local program, and must be returned to The Smith Family when it is no longer needed.

• one copy of each of the Let’s Read books
• one laminated copy of each of the Parent Information Sheets (4 months, 12 months, 18 months & 3½ years)

• one Let’s Read DVD
• one of each of the Let’s Read bags (4 months, 12 months, 18 months & 3½ years)
