United Way Reading Pals
Miami author, Dr. Steve Liebowitz and two of his reading pals explore “Rumble In The Jungle” by Giles Andreae and David Wojtowycz as part of The United Way’s Reading Pals Program which encourages children to read at an early age.Steve thinks he gets more from the experience than the children do. “The children are four and amazing! “
Volunteer by reading to children
Become a ReadingPal, and join 200 volunteers reading to young children at pre-kindergarten classrooms in neighborhoods across Miami-Dade. Research shows that children who learn to read well at an early age will not only read more independently, but also achieve more in math, social studies and science, and are more likely to graduate high school and pursue higher education. Early literacy is a key strategy to success.
Created in partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, The Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County Public Library Systems, Early Learning Coalition and The Children’s Movement – and through support provided by Carol and Barney Barnett – ReadingPals is a fun and meaningful way to provide our children with the best possible start in school and in life.
