Read To Me International's mission is to share the love and joy of reading aloud. Our goals include:
-Every child is read to every day for at least ten minutes.
-Stakeholders are involved in participating in, or promoting, reading aloud to children daily.
-Serve as a leader in promoting reading aloud to children.
How We Got Started:
Read To Me International is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in March 1996 as a result of a partnership created by the Governor's Council for Literacy and Lifelong Learning and the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise. From 1992-1994 the Council and Rotary embarked on a successful multi-media campaign called "Read To Me," which resulted in a statewide campaign underscoring the importance of reading aloud. Its message: "Every child in Hawaii will be read to every day for ten minutes."
The program proved to be successful, having been adopted in over a dozen states, plus Canada and Malaysia. In March 1996, a nonprofit organization was created by the Rotary Club of Honolulu Sunrise, and in August 1997, Read To Me International began operating with the support of Hawaii Pizza Hut, Inc. and the State of Hawaii's Department of Education.
Read To Me International is active in the community, making presentations at schools, pre-schools, and local and national conferences. Read To Me International also designs and facilitates programs in underserved communities to equip program participants with tools and techniques to build their confidence in reading aloud to children.
