About
Reading Encouragement Programs: Reading to Kids organizes reading clubs at eight Los Angeles area elementary schools on the second Saturday of each month. An average of 28 teachers, 117 parents, 319 volunteers, and 601 children attended the reading clubs each month during the fiscal year. During the reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read teacher-selected books to small groups of children while their parents attend teacher-led classes, receiving training on how to encourage their children to read at home. The 90-minute reading clubs end with an arts and crafts project for the children, which is designed to further inspire them with a love of reading. The books used at the reading clubs are donated to the school libraries, and the attending children and parents receive prize books to take home to supplement their home libraries. Attending teachers also receive prize books for their classrooms in thanks for their assistance with the reading clubs.
