Overview
Mission
To inspire children's love of reading, touch their imaginations and creativity through books and build a community of successful, life-long readers by providing trained, committed volunteers and new books to at-risk elementary aged school children.
What it reported doing in 2024
Rolling readers has been sharing the joy of reading with brevard county children since 1997. Our mission is to develop in chidren a desire to be lifelong readers. Research shows reading skills are the foundation needed to help children achieve success in education and in life. With close to 60 volunteers during 2024-2025, we provided weekly read aloud sessions in classrooms (pre-kindergarten through fifth grade), and tutor/mentor services for struggling second and third grade readers. During the 2024- 2025 school year, we reached out to students in 12 brevard county title i schools through our read aloud program, tutor/mentor reading skills program, and grade level reading intervention program. In march, each child participating in one of our programs received a hard cover book as a gift. For some, this is the first book they can call their own. Classroom teachers also receive a gift book for their classroom library. Rolling readers is making a difference in the lives of area children, one book at a time.
