Birmingham Reads is the largest children's literacy event in the community!
 
On October 18 at 1:00pm, volunteers will be sent into every kindergarten through fifth grade classroom in the Birmingham City School System.  Better Basics staff will select an age appropriate book for each grade level, and the volunteers will read the book to the class, ask reading comprehension questions, and give each student a book to take home.
 
This is a great opportunity to meet and connect with the students at Oliver Elementary School!
