The United Way of Wyoming Valley recently distributed its literacy kits to preschool-aged children, including those at Luzerne County Head Start (LCHS). Classroom #14 at LCHS’s Beekman Street center in Wilkes-Barre was one of several preschool classrooms to receive the literacy bags.

The literacy kits contain age-appropriate books as well as a variety of fun literacy activities and helpful information for parents to keep children learning throughout the summer as they prepare to enter kindergarten. The contents inside of the bags are donations from PNC’s Grow Up Great® initiative, which helps prepare children from birth to age five for success in school and in life.
