The first Reading And Parents Program (RAPP) pack was developed in 1990. It was designed to encourage family reading and help parents support their children’s emergent literacy skill development. The RAPP pack contains a quality children’s book, reading and language hints, a craft idea, poetry and activity sheets all relating to the theme of the book. The packs can be easily adapted to produce packs that are individually suited for loaning to all families who have children aged from birth to ten years, regardless of the size of the family.
