Alphabet Bites is a part of the system-wide literacy efforts which include Family Literacy series, Kindergarten Readiness programs, Early Literacy programs, and other events. Alphabet Bites was added to the literacy programming in the fall of 2005 and was funded by the Target Store grant. The goal of the Alphabet Bites: Stories to Fill You Up project is to provide a series of programs for children ages 3-5 focusing on individual letters of the alphabet. These are interactive and educational programs that enhance early literacy and reading skills using a multi-sensory approach. Library staff also models behaviors and shares methods to enable parents and caregivers to apply these ideas and techniques at home or in a class setting. So far, the series was presented at twelve Orange County Library System locations. The project received great response from the community. Our staff presented 77 programs which were attended by 3,700 preschool children and 1,100 adults.

The Orange County Library System is the recipient of a Target Community Giving Grant courtesy of the Target on East Colonial Drive. This grant generously funds our preschool program Alphabet Bites, bringing the alphabet alive to children by way of stories, crafts, activities, and more.
