Everybody Wins! USA Proposes Reading Campaign

Help Launch a National "Read To Kids" Campaign

Everybody Wins! USA, a nationally recognized literacy and mentoring organization, has proposed a national “Read to Kids” campaign on Change.org’s Idea for Change in America. The Read to Kids campaign is one of 60 finalists in the final round of voting that ends on Friday, March 12th at 5pm ET. The campaign would emphasize the importance of reading aloud to children of all ages and would engage literacy organizations, schools, teachers, parents, libraries, authors, publishers and nearly every sector of business and society that understands that our nation’s future depends on our children’s literacy skills.

The top 10 ideas will be presented to the Obama administration and be part of a national grassroots campaign to promote the idea.
