OKR Free Book Festival

Support Literacy In NYC!

On April 17, at a Children's Aid Society location in Harlem, Our Kids Read will partner with the Dyslexia Alliance for Black Children (DABC) to give books to families before Spring Break. DABC will answer questions about the change in literacy instruction in NYC and how to support children who might be struggling to learn how to read.
