All District Reads

The All District Reads reading programs encourage reading aloud in the households and classrooms of all elementary-age students in participating communities, with special advantages for low-income students. Our programs provide children across an entire school district with two new books each year to take home for parents to read nightly over a period of several weeks. By exposing all children in a school to the same book at the same time, we encourage cross-age sharing about the story. By emphasizing families reading books aloud, our programs allow readers of all abilities to enjoy the same stories without any stigma. The goal is to add to a child’s reservoir of language every year. All District Reads programs are unique in that we offer them at absolutely no cost to schools. Furthermore, our programs support family literacy and create excitement about reading across the entire community.

This program provides teachers with books, trivia questions, activities and discussion for each book title allowing for increased reading comprehension, language acquisition and public speaking. Our goal is to change the culture of reading in the home and to build a love for books.
