Enroll Your School
You can enroll with Read Aloud in four easy steps! You’ll need the cooperation of your school principal and someone to serve as the School Coordinator. See the walkthrough below for more information.

1.
Talk to Your Principal and Get Their Approval
School principals often initiate the enrollment process with Read Aloud themselves, but if you’re a community member or teacher who wants to enroll a school, you can do so. Just be sure to get the agreement of your principal first.
2.
Choose your Read Aloud School Coordinator
Review the Read Aloud School Coordinator job description. We encourage you to choose someone familiar with your school, such as a current/retired teacher, a parent, or a community volunteer. This person should have good organization and people skills.
3.
Submit the School Sign-Up Form to Read Aloud
Complete the School Sign-up Form either online or on paper. We accept paper sign-ups either mailed to PO Box 1784, Charleston, WV 25326 or scanned and emailed to stateoffice@readaloudwv.org.
4.
Complete and Return the Teacher Sign-Up Form
This tells us which classrooms need readers. We will mail your coordinator a Teacher Sign-Up Form, or you can print the version below. Please encourage your teachers to list as many available times as possible – this greatly increases the likelihood that we’ll be able to match them with a reader!
In addition to weekly classroom readers, enrolled schools can request these materials for students:
