The national ‘Read to Me’ initiative kicks-off in seven cities this week: Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Providence, Phoenix and Orlando.Įveryone can take the national ‘Read to Me’ challenge by picking up a book and reading to a child in your life today. “We’re grateful to the Rise Up Foundation, our partner in this new literacy initiative, the broadcasting community, our volunteer BookPALS, and our partner schools for participating in the ‘Read to Me’ kick-off this week and getting this campaign off the ground and into our communities,” said SAG Foundation President JoBeth Williams. “Together, we can ensure all children succeed not only in school, but in life, because it really starts with reading.” We hope the ‘Read to Me’ initiative ignites a movement across the country of reading aloud to children,” said Rise Up Foundation Founder and author Wendy Alane Adams. “We are at the very beginning of this journey. ‘Read to Me’ also challenges everyone to pick up a book and read to a child in their life. Research shows that reading aloud to children improves language, literacy and academic outcomes. The ‘Read to Me’ initiative encourages everyone to play a part in reading aloud to children whether you are a parent or grandparent, sibling or neighbor, educator or friend. The proof is how hard they listen when you do it right.” This day brings us back to how important reading to children is. “I’m proud to be a part of the ‘Read to Me’ initiative,” said WPIX weatherman Mr. G and fellow SAG-AFTRA performers who volunteer on a weekly basis as SAG Foundation BookPALS also presented over 300 new books to PS 140 students donated by the Brooke Jackman Foundation.
