Research Works! for child literacy, CCKM, and the Nova Scotia Read to Me! Family Literacy Program worked together to create a Catalogue of government and community programs that deliver books and other reading incentives to families of newborns. National and international programs were identified from an exhaustive Internet search and by experts in early literacy.  These practitioners and researchers helped create the coding categories that were applied to each program. Coordinators of Programs listed in the Catalogue were invited to revise their entries, and to suggest new entries.

Programs described in the Catalogue are also featured in individual one-page Fact Sheets for easier reading. The success of the CCKM Program Catalogue initiative was captured in the comment of one Program Coordinator: If only this information had been available to draw upon before we launched our program!
