How We Impact

Flint Kids Read supports families and children through coordination of services, provision of training and language/literacy tools, family engagement activities, and with classroom and family support to ensure that Flint children are ready to succeed in school.

Additionally, Flint Kids Read is coordinated with the internationally recognized Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and offers a comprehensive family literacy component. With the help of our local Imagination Library initiative Parents of children residing in zip codes 48501-07 and 48532 can enroll their child into the Imagination Library and receive a book each month to the home of each registered child (birth through five years of age) at no cost to the family. Children of different ages receive different titles; the books are carefully selected and are the children’s to keep.
