Reading is Fundamental (RIF) is the largest children's literacy non-profit program in the United States and now serves over 4 million children across the United States. It began in 1966 in Washington, D.C. under the direction of Margaret McNamara and a group of teachers and school volunteers. Starting first with 3 schools, RIF is has expanded to 100's of schools throughout the U.S. Dedicated volunteers come into schools to read with children and provide free, new books to children who may otherwise have never received one.
My school and the students have personally benefited from the work of RIF volunteers and the donation of books.
