Books for young kids
We know that finding books and resources for your Community can be difficult – especially in your Home Language. That is why we created Book Buzz.
Book Buzz provides books and resources so that children can develop critical pre‑literacy skills through Storytime sessions. It also supports remote Communities to translate popular children's books into First Languages.
Playgroups and early learning centres
Book Buzz supports remote or very remote playgroups and early learning centres (such as a FaFTs or KindiLinks) by giving you free books and resource kits.
Learning your own way
With the free books and resources in these kits, it’s about literacy skills YOUR way, and sharing that joy of reading together.
“Our Book Buzz program enables children to gain important and valuable early literacy skills to support their transition into big school."
Zoe, Head of Programs
