Staff Scene: Site coordinator Deanna Kennedy is the first to admit that Power Read is a reading program, but more importantly, she says, it’s a relationship program. Read out full feature about Deanna here: everybodywinsiowa.org/2024/03/25/sta…

Interested in mentoring but unsure of the time commitment? We can do a pair-share! When you pair-share, you and another mentor take turns reading with the same student, so you get flexibility. Sign up today: survey.alchemer.com/s3/4328110/Eve…

We love reading in all its forms. If you’re a lover of poetry, today, World Poetry Day, is your day. Take a look at Billy Collins’ Introduction to Poetry and consider putting this artform into your rotation: loc.gov/programs/poetr…

No programs this week as our students and mentors get a well-deserved Spring Break. But thanks to our generous donors, our students went home with a new book to read while they’re off. If you’d like to donate, check out our Amazon wish list! amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Choose one of these books to read on International Women’s Day and give young readers a new look at feminist ideas and characters: internationalwomensday.com/ReadingList-Sc…

Our students are completing their READO activities and will take home a book this week prior to their spring break. One of our greatest joys is helping our kids build their home libraries.

It’s National Read Across America Today! On this day, parents and children all over the U.S. come together to celebrate reading and all it does for us. How will you encourage a loved one to read today?

Staff Scene: Coordinating Power Read is like moving puzzle pieces around, according to Brooke Gillum, and it’s an activity she enjoys three times each week during the school year. Read our full feature about Brooke on our blog page: everybodywinsiowa.org/2024/02/28/sta…
