Kids Need to Read Community Presentations

We value our partnership with Kids Need To Read. Altrusa is a service organization focusing on literacy and community service. The director of Kids Need To Read has always been very responsive to our needs and very enthusiastic in supporting our efforts. Jessica Payne, the Executive Director of Kids Need To Read, gave an excellent presentation at our event on 11/18/2021. We truly appreciate the support Kids Need To Read has given us in furthering our efforts in literacy and community service. The books we have received have always been of excellent quality and appropriate to our age ranges. The reading buddies are also an excellent addition to the books that we give to the children. Thank you to Kids Need To Read for your support!—Dawn Mortellaro, Immediate Past President, Altrusa of the West Valley, Surprise, Arizona

Alumni associations? Service clubs? Schools? Kids Need to Read welcomes opportunities to speak on current concerns relating to childhood literacy and our organization's passionate approach to resolving these issues. Our presentations can be altered to meet the needs of clubs conducting literacy programs for children, parents wanting to establish home reading habits, and educational professionals who wish to encourage home reading.

But why stop there? Looking toward the next generation; Kids Need to Read is happy to present at Career Expos and other events to talk to both children and adults about the exciting world of non-profit organizations and careers in literacy.

I greatly appreciate the presentation for our students, including the Highlights magazines! The presentation was awesome! Thank you so much!—Mrs. Andalibian School Counselor, Jack Barnes Elementary School, Queen Creek, Arizona
