Take Me Out to the Ballgame (for Free with a Book)!
Books and baseball—a winning combination. On April 13 and April 27, students who brought a copy of Little Rhino: My New Team to Harbor Park Stadium received free admittance to the Norfolk Tides baseball game. Dozens of area families took advantage of this special offer from the Tides to enjoy a Sunday afternoon at the ballpark.

Our Mission Statement
Fostering family literacy through developing partnerships between communities and public schools.
All District Reads partners with schools and participating communities to encourage reading aloud in households and classrooms of all Kindergarten through 5th grade students, with special advantages for low-income students. The ADR reading program provides a shared reading experience within homes to promote literacy and create a passion for reading.
Children born into poverty face numerous challenges, including a deficiency in literacy skills. Research indicates that children raised in households with books gain a significant edge compared to those who do not have access to books.
