📚✨ 20 minutes of reading a day can make a BIG difference! ✨📚

Just 20 minutes a day can help children grow their vocabulary, strengthen critical thinking skills, boost creativity, improve communication, develop empathy, and build a lifelong love of learning. 💖🌟

Small daily habits. BIG lifelong benefits! ❤️📚

Rylee walked through our doors during our very first years at Reading for Change. She was one of our first students, a sweet little redhead with a BIG heart and even BIGGER dreams. ❤️

Little did we know that years later, she’d walk back through those same doors, this time as an RFC intern. 🥹

Rylee is now enrolled in the Early Childhood program at Upper Valley Career Center because she dreams of becoming a teacher. And we couldn’t be more excited to watch her pursue that dream.

There’s something so special about watching a child grow, seeing the impact of the people who poured into them, and then watching them come back to pour into the next generation.

From one of our very first RFC students to an RFC intern who wants to become a teacher… what a full-circle moment. ❤️

We are SO proud of you, Rylee, and so grateful you’re part of the RFC story!

✨We need reading buddy volunteers! ✨

✨The most rewarding part of being a reading buddy is watching a young reader's confidence blossom as they move from struggling with words to genuinely enjoying a story. ✨

Do you have an extra hour or two per week to read with a child?

This week at Reading for Change, our students had fun playing all kinds of memory games! 🎲🧩
But we weren’t just having fun—we were strengthening important skills for reading! 📚💡
Memory games help sharpen children’s cognitive and visual skills while teaching their brains to remember, process, and connect information. These skills are important for reading because children need to remember earlier words and ideas while decoding new ones.
Every game, challenge, and activity is another opportunity to build the skills that help our students become stronger, more confident readers! ❤️📖
