Last week I shared a post about First Book and Chronicle Books donating books to children this holiday season. Today I want to share how you can help children get books via another organization, Every Child a Reader.
Every Child A Reader is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading in children and teens across America. They support all those who inspire children and teens to enjoy reading— parents, educators, librarians and booksellers across America — year-round as well as through their popular and long-running national programs which include Children's Book Week (every year I review only children's books on the blog during that week), Children's & Teen Choice Book Awards, National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, the Reading Without Walls Challenge, and the Anna Dewdney Read Together Award. Every Child A Reader works to connect young children and teens with books that they love and create lifelong readers. They aim to give children books that reflect their world.
Every Child A Reader reaches out to schools, libraries, and communities across the US. Every little bit of support helps in furthering their mission and
reaching children in all walks of life.
Want to help? Donate directly, any time during the year and not just at the holidays, at http://everychildareader.net/donate/ Then spread the word and share this campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues. Use #GivingTuesday and #MakeEveryChildaReader in your social media posts and link to the url: http://everychildareader.net/donate/
Every little bit will help, and a donation of $20 will help:
Ship children's books to a health clinic (Every child who comes in for a check-up gets a free book from Every Child a Reader)
Print and mail word puzzles and draw-your-own story pages to 10 rural and urban schools and libraries across America.
Produce online and downloadable voting ballots for our 4 book prizes, the only national awards voting on only by kids and teens.
