"What you have given to the community is very priceless. I can never say thank you enough times... You've made a huge impact on my family."

Our kids became passionate about reading and we saw results (daughter who's "learning" to read had comments on her report card saying that her love for reading is obvious, son's reading score was amazingly HIGH, and the same son read so many books that he received a special reading award, eldest son read through several series)... We've turned off the TV, we've read together, we've spent valuable time together as a family, and we've learned important keys to help our kids.

"It has helped our family bond closer and has been an enjoyable activity for us to be involved in. I hope that Read Aloud America continues to recieve funding so they can continue to impact families as positively as it has impacted our family."

"I've seen a great change in [my daughter]. When she gets home at night, after taking a bath and eating dinner, she goes into her room and READS... although she doesn't know how to read all that well yet (she's K), she still would rather go in the room and read, rather than watch TV. It really is amazing. Last night she even fell asleep reading the alphabet book."

"We all agreed that reading is better to boost your imagination and it keeps you hungry for reading more and more."

"It definitely changed the attitude toward reading for kids. And also we recognized how important to read to children it is. It opened my eyes to many aspects, especially to get together as a family. I think nowadays spending time is family is missing in our busy lives. Kids are busy with what they're doing, parents are busy working, and we might be too tired to deal with them. Parents more feel like almost it's a burden for them to get together with kids, and kids might feel the same thing. But anyway thank you so much for this opportunity!o get together with kids, and kids might feel the same thing. But anyway thank you so much for this opportunity!"
