Beyond the Books
Motivating kids to read to create a brighter future
This keynote is perfect for: high schools, colleges, government based events, women's groups, community groups, leadership development, entrepreneurs
Studies show that children who are not reading on grade level by the fourth grade are exponentially more likely to drop out of high school, experience poverty, enter the criminal justice system, and stay illiterate the rest of their lives.
Last year, over 60% of students in America were not meeting this milestone.
Motivating kids to read is the catalyst for creating lasting change in the community.
