  • The Dollar General Literacy Foundation

The Dollar General Literacy Foundation and Sesame Workshop share a commitment to helping parents and caregivers ignite their children’s love for reading and develop their language and literacy skills. Language is a key part of early childhood education and helps lay the foundation for success in school. 

When parents and children read together and engage in literacy activities, it can ignite curiosity and help develop lifelong literacy skills. Developing early literacy skills can boost vocabulary, oral language, comprehension, ability to identify words, letter-sound recognition, and print awareness.  

New resources that make learning fun, available in English and Spanish, are designed to support parents and caregivers as they introduce children to exciting new worlds within the pages of a story.
