Read Aloud! with Read Lead

Each morning, we will invite guests from the community to come into the classroom and read their favorite books. This instills a love of reading and exposes students to new people and new stories. And it allows you to see firsthand what the Read Lead program is all about.

Share your favorite book with our scholars!​

Read Aloud guests are a vital part of our program, as they demonstrate to our scholars that reading is important to everyone. We invite you to come and read your favorite age-appropriate (5 to 13) book or poem to our scholars. You’ll also have the opportunity to share with them a bit about what you do and how education and literacy have played a role in your success. Our students are always excited to ask guests questions and are equally excited when the guest asks questions of them.

‘Read Aloud! takes place during our daily morning ‘Harambee’, Monday – Friday from June 27th through August 4th, from 8:15 to 9:00 a.m.
