Winter Season of

Reading Inspires Creativity
The Read & Lead" program is a one-on-one
reading improvement program conducted by high school students to teach
young emergent readers in the early years of elementary school to love
and enjoy books.
 Key
Club members are asked to mentor a child by donating one hour of their
time a week to read stories and books to an elementary school child who
is struggling with the task of reading. By reading books and becoming
the child's reading friend, the Key Club member becomes a positive role
model and mentor.
Twenty percent of adults in the United States
are illiterate. The number is growing. These adults can't even read to
their own children. Educators tell us reading to children is the first
step in learning to read. Key Club members are asked to help end this
cycle by demonstrating the joy of reading as a "reading friend."
The Key Club motto is "Caring - Our Way
of Life." What better way to show that Key Club cares than by helping
a young child love and enjoy books and reading. Learn more with the Key
Club Read
and Lead manual.
