Students Are Turning Pages to Brighter Futures

Elementary students participate in a Readers in Motion literacy activity with their teacher during classroom reading time.

Through Readers in Motion, young students are discovering the joy and confidence that come from reading. Supported by Believe in Reading, this engaging literacy program encourages Kindergarten through seconnd grade students to complete monthly reading challenges that strengthen literacy skills while building meaningful family connections at home. By helping children grow their home libraries and create positive reading experiences with caregivers, Readers in Motion is opening the door to brighter futures one page at a time.

Thanks to generous support from Believe in Reading, magic is unfolding in the minds of young students through our Readers in Motion program! Each month, Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students are invited to participate in fun and engaging reading challenges that do more than boost literacy; they help build strong family connections and inspire a lifelong love for learning.

The concept is simple but powerful. Students select from a collection of specially chosen, age-appropriate books and are challenged to read five books each month. They earn an exciting prize for every challenge completed - a brand-new book to grow their home library.

But the real magic happens at home. Research shows that when parents and caregivers read with their children, it strengthens vocabulary, boosts academic achievement, and builds a foundation of trust, curiosity, and communication. These reading challenges don’t just develop strong readers; they help create shared moments of connection between children and the adults who care about them.

Thank you to Believe in Reading for supporting our reading challenges and investing in education, families, and a life-long love of learning.
