Book Pack Survey

Dear Parents:

In October of this year we began a new pre-literacy initiative at the Burlington Integrated Preschool. Each week you have received a book pack that is filled with high quality children’s books. Included with the books are reading prompts that are used to help develop beginning early literacy skills.

As a team we are pleased with how well the bock pack program is going. The children seem excited to take the back packs home on Thursdays. We are pleased that they are always returned on Tuesdays and in the same shape they went home in. However, we don’t know how families feel about the program and if you are enjoying it and finding it beneficial.

We would like to ask that you take a minute and go to our program blog and fill out the survey about the program. The survey is designed to help us fine tune the program and ensure it is meeting the needs of all families.

Thank You for taking the time to fill out the survey
