$700 raised from 11 donors

$1,200 goal

For DoMore24, we are hoping to raise $1,200 to fund the books we distribute to families in one of our Prime Time Family Reading sessions.

Prime Time Family Reading introduces 6 to 10-year-old children and their families to the humanities through storytelling and discussions that build the foundation for a lifelong love of reading and learning. During a Prime Time program, a storyteller reads a children’s book and then families are guided through discussion to personally connect with literature through open-ended questioning. These programs model strategies for continued family bonding through literature and provide families with critical information for continued reading. Sessions are six weeks long with up to 25 families, and one book is given to each family per week.
