Road to Reading - Muncie Juneteenth
Road to Reading - Muncie Juneteenth
Heart of Indiana United Way, in partnership with Ivy Tech Community College and with support from the Shafer Foundation, is proud to announce the launch of Road to Reading—a new summer literacy initiative that brings books and learning directly to families in the community.
What is Road to Reading?
Road to Reading launches on May 29 at the Avondale Church/Ross Community Center, Road to Reading offers families the opportunity to “shop” together for free books and literacy resources from a fully stocked Ivy Tech RV. The RV will make stops at four community events throughout the summer in Muncie Promise Neighborhoods, creating joyful, engaging opportunities for families to build literacy-rich memories together.
Why is it important?
Access to books is vital for children’s academic success and overall development. Research shows that students who read regularly over the summer months are better equipped to maintain their reading skills and perform well academically when they return to school in the fall. By empowering students to choose books they’re interested in, we aim to cultivate a lifelong love for reading and support their educational journey.
