Readers Are Leaders volunteers entertain, enlighten and encourage the students as they read quality, age-appropriate literature to them including books about science, biographies and fiction. On each visit members read two books that are then donated to the classroom library along with enrichment activities to instill a love of reading and to improve the quality and quantity of the classroom library for in-class reading.

During the holiday season each student is gifted a book of facts about various topics. Several other times each year, each student also receives a paperback book. And, at the end of the school year, every student receives 3 books to keep and read over the summer. Today’s readers are tomorrow’s readers!
