Paint the Cape REaD
Paint the Cape REaD (PTCR) is a grassroots level approach to promote Early Literacy ideas, information and activities with local communities running the program. 
The first 3 years in particular are important for a child’s brain development. From birth, every time you read, talk, sing, play, rhyme and yarn with your child, wonderful new connections are formed and strengthened. These daily activities lay the foundation for healthy brain development, sound literacy skills and close attachment.
For this program to be truly successful, it takes commitment from the community, to drive the key messages and engage families that may not already be reading to their children.
Key messages:
- Enhance Early Literacy Skills and school readiness
- Encourage healthy brain development
- Promote Parent/Child attachment
