One of the featured activity areas in Central Resource Library's new Kids area is a Burgeon pre-literacy learning space, graciously funded by the Regnier Family Foundation, John W. & Effie E. Speas Memorial Trust, and Johnson County Library Foundation.
These interactive units are designed by educators and librarians to develop the same essential pre-literacy skills as the Library’s signature program, 6 by 6: Ready to Read. The units are colorful and child-sized which draws children to them and introduces the concept of letters as a 3-dimensional game or puzzle. More like a playground to children, Burgeon units are effective teaching tools. You'll see unique Burgeon units at other Library locations as well!
Special thanks to the funders and our Early Literacy Team!
