Program areas at Spread the Word Nevada

Kids to kids, our flagship program, reaches out to at-risk children (pre-k through 5th grade) in low income areas by providing them with new and gently used books to develop their very own "keep at home" library of books to learn from and share with their families. the program objective is to enhance the reading abilities of and instill a deep appreciation for reading during the formative stages of the at-risk student population.
Our family literacy program helps instill the importance of reading with the children in partnership with their families. Bi-monthly, students and their parents, grandparents, guardians, and siblings are invited to share in a light snack and story reading at elementary schools we serve. Every family who attends receives a brand-new copy of the book of the month for their family to share, and a simple outlined literacy expansion activity to take home and implement which reinforces the concepts presented during the program. In addition, every person who attends receives a book of their choice to take home and continue to build their home library.
Books & buddies is our reading mentorship program which partners our volunteers from businesses and our community with the children attending our at-risk elementary schools. Volunteers partner individually with students to focus on further developing the child's reading proficiency, comprehension, and verbal recitation skills. This program provides children with valuable one-on-one tutoring that is not available in the classroom or in the home.
Readers in training is a literacy-based program for children ages 0-5 years. It is designed to assist families in preparing children for preschool and kindergarten. Families who participate receive one new age- appropriate book mailed directly to their homes monthly, access to online content that specifically targets school readiness skills and helps families practice these skills in the home, and the opportunity to participate in quarterly in-person playgroups that will allow children practice school readiness skills in a classroom type setting.
