“RAR is the kind of program that most principals only dream about providing for their students. It is structured yet flexible, comprehensive and complete. RAR involves students and their families through engaging literature, high interest and multicultural selections that ensure all students feel a part of something special. It gives me great pride to see my students and families with their RAR bags, motivated and excited to get lost in a story. Parent and teacher trainings, ample resources and materials, and a systematic program focused on developing a love of reading is a win-win in education.”
