In this excellent episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in the studio by Rachael Orose, the Executive Director of Words Alive. From a young age, Rachael has always been surrounded by books. Through her work with numerous nonprofits aimed at book distribution, she noticed a gap between families, time to read, and access to books.
This is where Words Alive comes in. Through book clubs, read-alouds, connecting play to reading, and more, Words Alive aims to connect children, teens, and families to reading. They believe they can turn people into readers by inspiring a love for reading. Words Alive has partnerships with organizations and schools throughout San Diego in order to help ingrain a love of reading throughout the lives of children.
An excellent episode on reading with Rachael Orose. Here are some other takeaways from the interview:
