Donna's Book Bag
Our blog, Donna’s Book Bag, offers information, tips and tools for understanding the role of family and early literacy play in closing the academic achievement gap and building strong families and children. Included are reading tips and strategies for families, information about the importance of early literacy, and details about the impact of our early literacy program in communities like Springfield, Brockton, and Lawrence, MA. Donna is Donna DiFillippo, our Executive Director. Original blog content is prepared by guest bloggers and many members of the Raising A Reader MA team. Please contact us if you would like to contribute content to Donna’s Book Bag.
