RIF's #MatchingGrant program enables local #literacy partners to double their impact by partnering with #RIF to drive reading outcomes for children in their community. Today we are excited to spotlight a grantee from Ithaca, New York who were looking to bridge the gap between school and home for their #HeadStart and Early Head Start programs by offering new skills in the kitchen and in the garden during #RIF family events. This provided an immersive #reading experience that sparked wonder and excitement and provided new #books!

Take time to read a new #RIF #blog by Dr. Chase Young, a distinguished author and literacy professor. In this important piece, Dr. Young draws from his experience as an #elementary educator and #literacy coach to present two text rehearsal #frameworks that educators can use with their own students grades K – 8th: a General Framework and a Reader’s Theater Framework. Both strongly align with RIF’s goals of enhancing #reading frequency, motivation, and engagement. Read the blog now: https://lnkd.in/eA5fxP-a #UntilEveryChildReads
