2012 Community Read Aloud

Friday, March 2, 2012

To sign up to read as a Volunteer during this year's Community Read Aloud event, complete our Registration Survey. 

If you sign up, we will work to match you in February and provide you with:

• The children's grade and school, or name of the child care site.
• The day and time for your visit.
• The name of your teacher or child care provider, and that person's phone number so that you can call him or her prior to the Community Read Aloud day. We recommend you check in that the book or books you have selected are appropriate for that group of children, and to confirm your visit, date and time.
• And a list of suggested authors by age group. We work with many local libraries, and the librarians are more than happy to help you select wonderful books for a specific age or grade. You also may decide to buy a book to donate to the classroom or child care site after you read it, a wonderful gesture that is always very much appreciated!

If you are a child care or school wanting to partcipate this year, please contact Peter or Rachel at 443-9752.

What is the Community Read Aloud? 

Success By 6 celebrates each year Read Across America on the anniversary of Dr. Seuss' birthday, March 2, with our local Community Read Aloud event. Up to 300 volunteers from all walks of life spend about an hour visiting children at child cares, preschools, Head Start Centers, and in classrooms at elementary schools to read a favorite book or two and to talk about why reading is important in their own lives.

For more information, call us at 443-9752!
