Over the past four years, the Detroit
Kiwanis club has distributed more than 400,000 supplemental reading books to Detroit public elementary school students. The focus of the project is to help teachers and parents instill a love of reading and learning in children during the early grades.
Since this project has
expanded distribution to community-based organizations and agencies in
the Detroit metropolitan area. Anyone who works with children, youth
and families and wants to include literacy strategies in their
programming is eligible to apply. Service providers working to
strengthen families by including reading as parenting or “teachable
moment” strategies may also apply.
