<p style="font-size:18px; text-align:center;">Reading Hour aims to increase children's potential for success in school and in life through one-to-one reading experiences with caring adults. Through our Reading Hour program, we reach children while they are young, stimulate their interest in reading and learning, and encourage them to believe that they, too, can be successful.</p>

<p style="font-size:18px; text-align:center;">90% of our brains develop by the time we are age 5. Words that are directed at us and in our environment build the brain and the foundation that we take forward into life. Studies show that children in “professional” houses hear 30 million more words than children in houses receiving welfare, by age 4. This 30 Million Word Gap can create development delays. It certainly creates a learning gap in pre-schoolers. This becomes what our society calls the achievement gap in public education. In reality, this gap is beginning before kindergarten. Our aim was to create a program to provide extra words or “building materials” for those children that are not receiving as much crucial one-on-one attention at home or in the classroom. </p>

<p style="font-size:18px; text-align:center;">In response to the National Commission on Reading’s landmark 1985 report, Becoming a Nation of Readers, the organization Everybody Wins created Power Lunch program, in which adult volunteers are matched, one-to-one, with children to read aloud to them at their elementary school during lunch. Following the success of this program, Smart Beginnings launched a similar program for preschool-aged children, Reading Hour. The program involves an adult reading out loud to a child weekly in order to foster a love of reading and to expose children to a variety of vocabulary, language patterns, story structures, genres and authors. When read to, children are exposed to more complex language and vocabulary than they encounter in their own reading and as a result their reading skills improve.
“The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.”--National Commission on Reading, Becoming a Nation of Readers Report, 1985

<p style="font-size:18px; text-align:center;">As a Reading Hour mentor, you will be partnered with a 3-4 year old child at a near by child care center. You will read aloud to the same child at the same time every week, for an academic semester. We ask that you spend 30-60 minutes with the child each week. You will receive support from the Reading Hour team as well as the child care center's staff.
