Bokstart
Description of initiative
Book start is a national initiative targeted to parents and adults in the vicinity of young children (0-3 years), with the aim of stimulating language development at an early stage. Parents are encouraged to talk, read, sing, rhyme and chant with the child. In this way, the child's language and interest in reading are developed. Bookstart is based on collaboration between public libraries, child healthcare and preschool, all of which have a mission to work with young children's language development.
