Kids Read Now - Barb and Leib's passionate literary legacy
When Barb retired as a Reading Specialist and Teacher and Leib sold his last company (he has started a few since!), they first travelled more of the world but soon devoted their time, passion, and funds to their mutual lifelong love of literacy. They co-founded and launched Kids Read Now - a non-profit organization that provides a turnkey K-5 summer reading program for schools. Since 2012, Kids Read Now has already gifted kids with 3 Million books. The Kids Read Now journey has given them extraordinary opportunities to advocate for literacy and meet many people equally as passionate about boosting reading skills and scores in America. |
