Reading is the gateway to experience new worlds. As an educator, I've always been a strong advocate for literacy. I recently collaborated with Robens Chery, president of Principle Life Family Resource Center. We've joined forces with New Worlds Reading Initiative as regional partners to host multiple literacy events throughout South Florida for the next seven months. We're excited to invite you to one of the stops of our free book tour designed for students in grades VPK-5. This experience promises to be a wonderful opportunity for families to come together, celebrate the joy of reading, and ignite the imaginations of young minds.

No event is complete without delicious treats! Enjoy free refreshments to keep your energy up as you dive into the world of books. We want to ensure that your family has a memorable and enjoyable time.
3. Free Books to Take Home:
Every young reader needs a collection of books to call their own. At our event, each child will receive free books to take home. These books are not only a treasure trove of knowledge but also an invitation to embark on countless adventures through the power of words. At the event, parents will get the opportunity to register each of their children for the program to receive FREE books delivered to their homes every month through fifth grade. They'll have the option to select books in English, Haitian-Creole, Spanish, or Braille.
Given the limited participants for each session, we kindly ask you to register for one of the sessions to secure your spot at this fun-filled literacy event.
Mark your calendars and come join us for a day of fun, learning, and bonding as we celebrate the magic of reading together. We can't wait to embark on this literary journey with you and your family!
If you're in South Florida and would like for us to host this event at your school, church, or community center, contact me as soon as possible!
