Reading is Fundamental is partnering up with Scholastic to launch a new program called Book People Unite. The purpose of this program is to create awareness about children’s literacy needs and to try to get more books to the kids who need them most. There are many children today living in poverty and don’t have access to books like other children. This program sounds like it is a great way to help kids experience the joy of receiving new books to spark their interest in reading.
What a great article. I personally love to read and I do remember getting the scholastic flyers at school. I still get excited when my nieces or nephews bring them home from school and I order some for my classroom. RIF provides books to the children in my Head Start program and I can see how excited they are to take a book home. We are always reading and all of those programs are great!
