Energy Corp. gives Read Aloud $25,000
The Energy Corporation of America has given Read Aloud West Virginia $25,000 to help children around the state discover the lifelong habit of reading for fun. Also, high school graduation rates, summer reading efforts and more in our Summer Newsletter.
Read Aloud could win $100,000
But we need your help
Read Aloud West Virginia has been chosen to participate in the Wal-Mart Foundation's Associates Choice Program.
Employees of Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in West Virginia will vote online for an organization to receive $100,000. Voting is expected to be finished later in the summer. If you know any Wal-Mart associates, please remind them of Read Aloud.
Read Aloud works to help children discover the joy of reading for pleasure. Children who read for fun tend to read more often and improve. Children who read well do better and go further in school. Read Aloud programs recruit volunteer readers for classrooms and help children to own their own books and magazines.
Read Aloud West Virginia is very happy to have the chance to win funding to support this important work around the state.

How to Get Your Child to Love Reading
Reading aloud is one of the absolute nicest activities for adults and children to share. It creates warm bonds, opens a child's mind to new ideas, forms topics of discussion, thus keeping lines of communication open, and creates a positive role model for the child to become a lifetime reader.
