Community Engagement

Currently, Read Aloud WV is active in 30 of 55 counties.

Read Aloud West Virginia motivates children to read for fun.

We involve families, schools, businesses, health care professionals, civic groups, and all of society to motivate children to WANT to read.

Our trained volunteer readers serve as a commercial for reading and send a powerful message that reading is an enjoyable lifetime activity.

We provide students with books through a variety of programs because access to books is essential to raising a generation of readers.

We help teachers create text-rich, reader friendly schools through free events, resources, book distributions, and volunteer readers.

We educate on the importance of reading to children from infancy into adolescence, the value of a print-rich environment, and more!
