EVERYBODY WINS!

arrives in South Florida

I am proud to introduce EVERYBODY WINS!, a nationally recognized literacy program, to South Florida.  The mission of EVERYBODY WINS! South Florida is to instill a love of reading and learning in elementary school students, to improve children's literacy skills, and to foster increased self-esteem.  

Literacy is essential to successful learning. 

• 39% of third graders in Miami-Dade County, and 33% in Broward, are reading below grade level
• In over one third of Miami-Dade County elementary schools, 50% or more of their third graders read below grade level.

We fulfill our mission through Power Lunch, a highly acclaimed literacy and mentoring program that brings volunteers from local businesses and organizations into schools for weekly one-on-one reading experiences with students.

EVERYBODY WINS! South Florida is counting on you to help us grow.  You can help in two ways.  First, by making a gift to support the organization.  Secondly, please share this email with everyone you know who might be interested in EVERYBODY WINS!

Thanks,

Julie Katz

Power Lunch is a lunchtime literacy and mentoring program proven to improve reading skills and attitudes.  Volunteers are paired with elementary school students and devote one lunch hour a week to the program. Reading pairs choose books and read together, then chat about what they have read.

EVERYBODY WINS! South Florida needs your support, please make a contribution to share a love of reading with the children in our community

The single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.
