Literacy

One of the biggest challenges that schools and libraries face is helping parents understand how to integrate the five simple practices of reading, writing, playing, singing, and talking into their daily lives with the goal of developing early literacy skills in their young children. School and library programming are evolving to do a better job of communicating how to do this with parents, but once parents and caregivers leave school or the library, the teacher’s and librarian’s reach is limited.

It extends our reach outside of the school and library and into the lives of the parents and has the potential to have great impact on our patrons’ behavior related to providing their children with the tools they need to get ready for school.

What People Say About Us

I’m always telling people at our libraries that I love Shoutbomb, it’s is like my personal assistant for the library. I love that I can keep track of my entire family’s items all from one account. I’m sure our libraries think I’m trying to push this product, but that is actually my opinion as a library patron.

On a professional level I would like to add that Shoutbomb is reasonably priced with great support. It’s great to get that personal touch with any of our questions we may have.
