We have created a fun and engaging reading platform for children, focused on improving and increasing the overall reading comprehension of school-aged children throughout Riverside County. By way of our interactive reading events and workshops, it is our intention to introduce students to the benefits of reading, making it a fun-filled experience brimming with learning opportunities and inspiring a passion for literature.
