Question This
Did you know it wasn’t until the last question of the last debate that the 2008 presidential candidates were asked about education?
Trick or Treat
There’s only 1 book for every 300 children in need in the U.S. To help us combat this truly scary statistic, our friends at Nestlé have launched a new Facebook page for supporters to Share the Joy of Reading.
The U.S. Department of Education has awarded RIF a new $4.18 million grant that will allow us to launch a program combatting summer reading loss among children in poverty. Read RIF's release.
Counting pumpkin seeds adds up to a lot more than just fun for kids. Check out our new Multicultural Book Collection, featuring books and activities themed around science, technology, engineering, the arts and math. All activities are aligned with the Common Core Standards.
