About Read Aloud
- Read Aloud helps Denver children develop literacy skills through reading books aloud in preschool classrooms.
- Weekly literacy-enriched story times are read to children for 30 weeks.
- Children are exposed to 120-150 new books each semester.
- At the end of each semester, every child receives a book to take home, helping to bridge the gap in access to literacy-rich materials in low-income communities.
"Being a part of the Read Aloud program has given me a treasure of experiences, from helping to increase their [kids] language skills, to opening their world to new adventures, places, and knowledge. ... to start reading a book and seeing the children quiet down, to hear their silence if the subject is serious or their laughter when it's funny. And I will never forget one little boy who, at the end of the story, yelled out, 'READ IT AGAIN.'"
- Lynn Sibbet, Read Aloud Volunteer
