Words Alive Read Aloud Volunteer Classroom Reader

Words Alive’s Read Aloud Program operates on the knowledge that reading aloud to young children is the most important thing we can do to help them become motivated, strong readers. Every month the Read Aloud Program serves approximately 2,000 preschool and elementary school students attending Title I (low-income) elementary schools.

Read Aloud Volunteer Classroom Readers work to build healthy reading habits, encourage reading comprehension, boost phonological awareness, and provide opportunities for self-expression and world exploration. We explore new and diverse texts using five anchors (read, talk, sing, play, and connect) to foster the love of reading.
