On Friday, February 2, 2007, Neshoba Central Elementary

 held a Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) Book Distribution

 in the School Auditorium.  The theme for the distribution was

 ‘For the Love of Reading’.

 

 

 

RIF prepares and motivates children to read

by delivering free books and literacy resources

 to those children and families who need them most.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Founded in 1966, RIF is the oldest

and largest children's

and family nonprofit literacy

 organization in the United States.

RIF’s highest priority is reaching

underserved children from

birth to age 8. Through community

 volunteers in every state

and U.S. territory,

RIF provides 4.5 million

children with 16

million new,

free books and

 literacy resources each year.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

All RIF programs

combine three essential

 elements to foster

children's literacy:

reading motivation,

family and community

involvement, and the

 excitement of choosing

 free books to keep.
