If we are full when you check, please keep checking back today and tomorrow for new spots.

Or, if you have read with us at least a few times before, please email us at info@readingtokids.org if you can help in any of these roles:

- Check-in Helper at any school!
- GLC at Alta Loma (4th Grade) or Esperanza (5th Grade)
