BENDIGO READS

An initiative of Communities for Children Bendigo

Joining together for Bendigo children to support early language and literacy development

By the time a child reaches five years old almost 90% of their brain has developed. Help switch on lights in their brain by reading, singing, talking and playing together every day.
