Our Impact

“In my previous role as a pre-kindergarten teacher, I have had the privilege of working with several dedicated volunteers from the Reading is Fun Program for over five years. This outstanding program provides young learners with invaluable opportunities to engage in literacy-rich activities that foster early literacy skills and cultivate a lifelong love of reading and learning. The relationships that students built with their Reading Is Fun volunteers had a lasting, positive impact on their growth and enthusiasm for literacy. Students frequently referenced the engaging content reinforced during their sessions, leading to measurable improvements in letter and sound identification, name writing, and reading stamina. I saw firsthand how the volunteers seamlessly integrated their efforts into my classroom's curriculum, aligning activities with our units of study. A memorable example was when a volunteer brought in a variety of leaves and books about trees to enhance our exploration of trees—adding a tangible, enriching element to the learning experience. Every volunteer I have worked with has become a beloved member of the classroom community, forming meaningful connections that students cherish. I am profoundly grateful for this partnership, which has made a remarkable impact on my students' academic and personal development. I enthusiastically recommend the Reading is Fun Program to my colleagues and encourage more teachers to take advantage of this exceptional resource each year.”
