THE PROGRAM
Kids ReadTO is a virtual book club that connects children from different communities through reading! Weekly book club meetings led by professional facilitators allow kids to safely socialize online through guided reading activities, discussions, and games that strengthen literacy skills and build their confidence. We select stories from around the world, written by diverse authors that kids can relate to, and deliver them to the doorstep of each participant.
