IRA Newsletter Project: Effective Literacy Website #5
My fifth literacy website is Read to
Me (https://www.readtomeintl.org/). Read to Me
international mission is to share the love and joy of reading
aloud. The goals are to ensure that every child reads every day for at least 10
minutes, model good read aloud techniques and promote reading aloud to a
broader audience of stakeholders.
Read To Me International promotes reading aloud to children
through:
- Parent coaching programs at
Hawai‘i’s schools, community sites, and correctional facilities
- Presentations and workshops for
parents, educators and other interested groups
- Read alouds at schools and
community gatherings
- National-quality annual
conferences
- Support for parents of young
children living in transitional and affordable housing
Read To Me International is a nonprofit
organization incorporated in March 1996. It is a partnership reading program
created by the Governor’s Council for Literacy and Lifelong Learning and the
Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise. The Governor’s Council comprised leading
members from the business, labor, education, faith-based and community
sectors. The message was simple, “Every child in Hawaii will be read to every day
for ten minutes.”
Programs provided by the program are compose stories, Read,
Revive, Restore, Readers Rallies, Read to me 10 minutes a day, and RTM 10
alumni programs. The programs engage
parents and students reading a-loud, to support children’s academic, social,
and emotional growth. All this helps
families to bond through reading aloud interaction with the child.
