A Read-Aloud Program with a Huge Impact
Skills R.E.A.L. inspires children to discover the joy of reading, develop comprehension skills, build background knowledge, and cultivate social-emotional learning skills. Benefits This approach to mentoring supports academic achievement while reducing the number of students who are disconnected from school. Children can build their home libraries with take-home books and families can learn new ways to support literacy at home with Family Guides. Plus, mentors will build bonds with children, share their love for reading, and help strengthen the community. Scholastic R.E.A.L. is a literacy-based mentoring program that gives schools, districts, and community-based organizations the tools they need to recruit and equip mentors—caring individuals from the community—to be reading champions. With high-quality, diverse books and companion guides (for mentors, students, and families), mentors are empowered to support children’s academic success through read-alouds and book discussions.
How It Works
R.E.A.L. includes everything you need to facilitate and recruit for a successful mentoring program, while building children’s home libraries.
Volunteers who become R.E.A.L. mentors share their love of great books by reading aloud to children in Grades PreK–8. Every mentor receives a copy of each book with companion Mentor Guides and access to the digital resource website to review materials before the read-aloud. Every student receives a copy of each read-aloud book to take home. Students also receive companion Student and Family Guides with fun activities and discussion prompts to encourage academic motivation and reading improvement at home!
