Greensburg library launches texting service for early readers

TALK is available for local kids age 5 and under.

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) -- The Greensburg Decatur County Library is participating in a program that aims to help children learn how to read and write.

The service, called TALK: Text and Learn for Kindergarten, sends two text messages each week suggesting activities that parents and caregivers can easily incorporate into daily routines with their children.

The service also notifies parents of free activities and services at the library. TALK is available for local kids age 5 and under. It is available in English and Spanish.

“We are very excited for the Library to be part of the TALK program. I know busy parents will benefit from the texting service and the ideas they receive are fun and easy to do with kids,” said Jill Pratt, Greensburg Decatur County Library’s Youth Services Manager.

This was launched to help parents develop learning opportunities who typically wouldn't have time to come up with projects.
