Read Aloud West Virginia’s mission is to motivate children to WANT to read, because motivation is the critical first step in developing any skill. We work to change the literacy culture of West Virginia by keeping reading material in the hands and on the minds of our state’s children…
Our trained volunteer readers serve as a commercial for reading and send a powerful message that reading is an enjoyable lifetime activity.
We provide students with books through a variety of programs because access to books is essential to raising a generation of readers.
We help teachers create text-rich, reader friendly schools through free events, resources, book distributions, and volunteer readers.
We educate on the importance of reading to children from infancy into adolescence, the value of a print-rich environment, and more!
The next Nicholas County board meeting will be held at Bob Evans Restaurant on March 4 at 8:30 a.m.
An original founder of Read Aloud and first Executive Director, Mary Kay Bond has dedicated her career to motivating children to read for fun. After 30+ years of service to the children and families of WV, Mary Kay is taking her well-deserved retirement. This year, our annual Read-A-Palooza fundraiser is all about honoring Mary Kay’s work and securing the future of the organization she built. The event will feature toasts and story sharing about Mary Kay, a small silent auction, and food and beverages in a casual environment with a happy hour feel. Help us to celebrate the legacy and vision of a great woman by joining us in UC’s Riggleman Rotunda for Read-A-Palooza 2020!
