⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Kids Read Now is a great opportunity for ALL students to receive books, whether or not their families can afford them. The program helps get children excited about reading, especially during the summer when most are thinking about anything but.”

Teresa F., K-5 Parent

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I loved to see how excited the students would get when they knew they could get new books. It was so rewarding to watch and be a part of.”

K-5 Classroom Teacher, Pitt County, North Carolina

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Families loved the engagement and excitement students felt over the summer months when a new book arrived. Educators loved the fact that we were getting books in our students' hands over the summer months, helping to decrease the summer slide.”
