Read Aloud Program

We have paused our Read Aloud Program until further notice, reducing group activities as the governor has directed. When we are able to resume read-aloud visits, our reading programs may be the only opportunity children have to be read to or receive access to books. 

If you or a family member/friend is interested in volunteering with Love of Learning, go here.

Book Club Program

Love of Learning is coordinating with local partners to deliver children’s books safely to children in our reading programs.

  Did you know the most successful way to improve the reading achievement of low-income children is to increase their access to books? 

Did you know that reading aloud

to children is the single most important activity for eventual success in school? 

Because 61% of low-income families have no age-appropriate books in their homes, creating a steady stream of new, age-appropriate books has been shown to nearly triple interest in reading within months. 

Kids growing up in homes with at least 20 books get 3 years more schooling than children from homes without books. Combine those books with frequent read-alouds and lives transform!
