Holiday Book Drives Benefiting KNTR!

Written by Denise Gary

There are two Phoenix area book drives underway this holiday season and they are benefiting Kids Need to Read in a spectacular way!  The Chandler Barnes & Noble has already presented KNTR with nearly 2,000 new books and they are not finished yet.  Although we do not yet know how many, Waldenbooks on Bell Road in Phoenix is also collecting a lot of books.  This is in addition to the several hundred books they gathered for us earlier this year.  We could not be more appreciative of the friendships we have with these two supportive bookstores.  Their gifts are making a huge impact upon our program.  Please stop by and tell them thank you for assisting us in inspiring literacy among children less fortunate.

Battling Illiteracy and High Dropout Rates

Please remember Kids Need to Read during your year-end giving.  It is always a joy to receive letters explaining how our work has touched so many children’s lives, but that joy is always tempered by the many heartfelt requests still awaiting our assistance.  Please stand with us against illiteracy and high dropout rates, which currently affects a quarter of our nation’s high school students!

Tis the Season

Once Upon a Time… It was a dark and stormy night… This is the tale that was told to me…: Throughout history, winter has been a season rich in the tradition of storytelling, serving as a captivating blend of entertainment and education for individuals of all ages. This enduring legacy is exemplified in Beowulf, one of the oldest recorded stories, where the narrative opens with a compelling command, “Listen! we have heard of the might of the kings,”. No matter the opening line, the timeless power and importance of story and literacy is in its ability to connect generations and communities through the ages.
