Bristol School Readiness Council is sponsoring a “Little Read” for all Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms in Bristol. 

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the “Week of the Young Child “, the Bristol School Readiness Council is sponsoring a “Little Read” for all Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms in Bristol.

The book Rio & Silas with Love, written by Bristol resident Michele Kean, was chosen as the “Little Read 2021”. A signed copy of Ms. Kean’s book was distributed to all Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms, Center-based Programs, Play and Learn Groups, and the Library.

Every child can have the opportunity to hear the story about Rio & Silas, two dogs, finding love and a place they belong.

This will be the first year the “Little Read” book will be showcased in a Story Walk @ Rockwell Park.

The Bristol School Readiness Grant Manager, as a participant of the Parent Training Leadership Institute, has chosen the Story Walk @ Rockwell Park as her community project and in collaboration with the Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services Department, this project will become a reality in June, 2021.
