RIF of Cowlitz County will be at our school three times during the school year. Children in preschool, kindergarten, and first, second, and third grades will attend a story reading activity and have the opportunity to choose a book to bring home and keep. Volunteers will be on hand to read to your child a portion of his or her book. We invite you to be one of the readers on RIF Day because parents and family members are important partners in teaching children to read.
RIF of Cowlitz County purchases books with federal funds from Reading Is Fundamental, Inc., and with financial support from the United Way of Cowlitz County, PTA's and PTO's, community groups, and local fundraising.
The U.S. Department of Education says that reading aloud to your child is the single most important thing a parent can do to build young readers. We hope that you and your child will share the RIF books together at home.
