Overview

Let’s Read is an initiative to promote reading with young children 0-5 years. Let’s Read was developed by the Centre for Community Child Health, a key research centre of Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, in partnership with The Smith Family. This initiative has been designed to support and empower parents/carers to read with their child, and develop the building blocks that are needed to make the transition to school as easy as possible.

Let’s Read is designed to be owned by and delivered in the community.

Launch

The Let’s Read initiative was launched nationally on the 30 August 2005, on the eve of National Literacy and Numeracy Week. For more information about the launch click here.
