Thankful

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! Bellman helped cook the turkey and gravy. YUM!

During this holiday, we are not only thankful for the wonderful food and time with loved ones, but also for others who share our passion for advancing childhood literacy and education.

Here are a few organizations that were recently featured in Reader's Digest:

bookends.org - Kids help kids by recycling and distributing books to inner-city schools, homeless shelters, and after-school enrichment centers.

famlit.org - The National Center for Family Literacy provides families with the tools they need to "break the cycle of low literacy."

firstbook.org - Distributes new books to disadvantaged children in preschools to afterschool programs.

reachoutandread.org - Pediatricians, nurses, and volunteers in impoverished areas promote literacy during well-child checkups.
