Empowering Minds and Bodies
At READtoRUN, we are dedicated to nurturing a love for reading while promoting physical fitness and teamwork among elementary school students across the nation. Our unique program structure combines literacy enrichment with physical activity to foster holistic development in young learners.
01
Kickoff
Starting the journey
The program begins with a kickoff event, where our team visits the school to introduce READtoRUN. During this initial phase, we distribute carefully selected books to spark interest in reading and measure students for their running shoes, symbolizing the journey they are about to embark on.
02
Mentoring
building relationships
Central to our program’s success is the Mentoring phase. Our dedicated mentors visit the school weekly, forming meaningful relationships with the students. These regular interactions are key to monitoring and supporting the students’ progress toward their reading goals. The mentors provide guidance and encouragement that helps keep the students engaged and motivated.
03
Celebration
honoring achievements
The culmination of READtoRUN is the Celebration event. This is a pivotal moment where students’ achievements in meeting their reading targets are honored. It’s not just a distribution of the promised running shoes; it’s a celebration of their hard work, determination, and the new skills they have acquired. This event reinforces the value of their efforts.
