Why the Read Foundation was created
The READ Foundation was created for a few reasons
First and foremost is to give underprivileged children the opportunity to see or do something they would not normally have the opportunity to do.
Next is finding something to promote a chance to be successful in life. I chose reading because being a teacher in Title 1 schools I saw the impact these opportunities make in their lives.
Combining the two, Rewards with reading it is a win-win opportunity. They improve their reading skills they also feel a sense of accomplishment through reading and earning a reward. More than just a ticket they also gain a new experience.
Like the poem Starfish Story, I know I can't take or make a difference in every child's life, but it doesn't stop me from trying.
