By Lynn C. French | 'Tis The Season For Reading
The Reading Road Map is Hope and a Home’s exciting new reading initiative that we began this summer in an effort to encourage more reading among our families.
The goals for the program are as follows:
The children are required to complete a book form that lists information about the books they read. Once completed, each participant in recognized and rewarded with a variety of incentives. In addition to receiving incentives such as restaurant gift cards, sport memorabilia, special admissions in museums and parks, they also receive a certificate of recognition that is presented at our monthly workshops in front of the parents and children attending.
Children are regularly requesting more book forms. We love to see this growing excitement about reading and hearing through their reports about the world that reading opens up for our Hope and a Home children.
Hope and a Home believes that by creating strong readers, children will perform better in school, have the skills needed to perform as productive professionals, develop financial independence and break the cycle of homelessness.
We need your help to provide funds for books for the Hope and a Home children so that they can build their own home libraries. In this season of giving please consider the gift that keeps on giving-the joy of reading.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
