Reading to Kids gathers on average 1,130 children and 445 volunteers at reading clubs on the second Saturday of every month at eight Los Angeles elementary schools.
At the monthly reading clubs, pairs of volunteers read aloud to small groups of children, while their parents receive training on how to encourage their children to read at home. Kids, parents, teachers, and school libraries receive book donations at the end of the Reading Clubs. These are important donations, as 60% percent of low-income homes do not have age-appropriate reading materials for children.
Since its inception, Reading to Kids has given more than 58,000 books to children who attend the reading clubs and donated more than 10,000 books to school libraries.
