I want to share with you a story from Kern County, North Carolina. Mathew’s family wrote to tell us how important Raising A Reader has been in helping him get excited about reading and sharing books together.
Here’s what they wrote…
“Mathew gets really excited when he gets to take home his little red book bag every week with different books. He doesn’t even wait to get them home. He insists on staying in the car to look through them all.
The program has helped him to get more excited about learning to read. It gives us something to look forward to each night as we read together before bed time."
We want to thank you for making stories like this possible!
With your support, we will begin to deliver the evidence based Raising A Reader With STEM program this fall to children and families who need it most. As one of the most evaluated programs of its kind in the country, with a reach of 130,000 children and families each year, Raising A Reader is now a national leader in family engagement and literacy, and a trusted partner in over 2,700 locations across the nation.
Thanks to you we continue to change lives through a little red bag of books and children like Mathew who can’t wait to say "share a book with me!"
As always, thank you for all you do to support underserved children and families through Raising A Reader!
Yours in book sharing
