| President Obama announced a new initiative to encourage service in America — "United We Serve" — and asked Americans of all ages to volunteer. "I'm calling on all of you to make volunteerism and community service part of your daily life and the life of this nation," said President Obama in a video release. "And when I say 'all,' I mean everyone – young and old, from every background, all across this country. We need individuals, community organizations, corporations, foundations, and our government to be part of this effort." |

Did you know..that according to the US Department
of Education, children who have not developed some
basic literacy skills by the time they enter school are
three to four times more likely to drop out in later years?
Some states even estimate the number of prison beds
needed in the future by looking at current third and
fourth grade reading scores. The Humboldt Literacy
Project reports that 70% of people with the lowest level
of literacy are unemployed and 43% live in poverty.
Our children in Brevard County deserve better and
YOU can help make a difference...one book at a time.
" Few children learn to love books by themselves. Someone
has to lure them into the wonderful world of the written word;
someone has to show them the way."
-Orville Prescott

Rolling Readers Space Coast, Inc. encourages you to join our organization. Whether
you choose our classroom Read Aloud program or one of our two tutor programs,
you are sure to see and feel the difference you can make in a child' s life. Last year
our volunteers reached out to over 7,000 children in Brevard County's Title 1
elementary schools. Sign up for a training session and become a Rolling Reader.
Make the time and make a difference...one book at a time.
At the end of the year every child that participates in our programs receives a brand
new hard covered book, as a gift from Rolling Readers. For some of these children,
this is the first new book they can call their very own. Come be a volunteer and share
the joy of reading.
