Buchstart is a project which aims to promote early childhood literacy. We feel that every kid in Hamburg should discover, as early as possible, how much fun books are. With free Buchstart Bags and events which will take place all across the city we intend to encourage parents and other educators to instill in their children a lasting love for books - a present for life. Browse our website for practical information, tips and ideas on "Books for infants and toddlers". Buchstart is still a very young project. As we intend to grow smart we do welcome your hints and ideas. All of you can help spread the news about Buchstart in Hamburg. Would you like to suggest a book, contribute a nursery rhyme or a finger game? Are you looking for an event, are you interested in a certain subject? Or would you like to support Buchstart as a volunteer? Get in touch with us! Let us know what you think. Give us your feedback, your questions, comments, hints and ideas. And have fun with our website and our books! Your Buchstart Team What is Buchstart? With Buchstart the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg offers all of the city's one-year-olds access to the future. Children who grow up with books from the very beginning are at an advantage. If they learn early how much fun there is in pictures and stories, they will enjoy reading and learning for the rest of their lives. It is up to grown-ups to encourage kids early on and to pave their way towards an education. Buchstart supports parents and other educators by offering teaching materials along with practical advice. Beginning in February 2007, pediatricians all across Hamburg will give out the Buchstart Bags in connection with the U6 health check. Packed with picture books and plenty of useful tips for parents, the bags provide just the right equipment to simply step into the adventure of "book sharing". The only thing parents need to add every day is a half-hour of book time. "Gedichte für Wichte" will be the motto of the events which Buchstart organises for kids under three and which will start in various parts of Hamburg in April. These open parent and children groups shall focus on picture books and spoken language. Funny songs, rhymes, finger and other games will playfully introduce the little ones to the world of language and first pictures and will provide a variety of parent tips on how to make books part of everyday life. Buchstart: Books for everyone. From the very start!
