Thanks to your generosity, we will be delivering the Raising A Reader with Financial Literacy program to pre-K and Kindergarten children in local low-income schools. Our financial literacy program provides an introduction to key themes that will serve as building blocks for creating positive financial behaviors in the future.
We are in the process of selecting the schools that will receive the Financial Literacy program for the 2017-18 school year. Raising A Reader with Financial Literacy includes 20 books featuring sharing, math, savings, and work ethic themes.
Families will have the opportunity to explore and discuss a key financial concept each week by sharing books relating to each theme. Each book contains a bilingual (English/Spanish) bookplate which is a sticker that provides the family with information and guidance in discussing the theme. Families will become alerted to developmentally appropriate key concepts within the theme, learn questions to ask while reading the book and be provided with real world extension activities to do as a family.
Raising A Reader has reached more than 1.5 million children in 34 states. With your support, we can reach our goal of impacting twice as many children in all fifty states by 2020!
You truly are changing the lives of children and families we serve across the US.
Yours in book sharing,
The Raising A Reader Team
