Historic Roswell Kiwanis Reads Around The World
Educational research repeatedly has recognized the importance of introducing early learning and literacy, the value of reading for pleasure, and the need for adult role models. Access to books remains a key factor in children's reading achievement.
As an organization dedicated to serving the children of the world, Historic Roswell Kiwanis understands the significance of reading and its impact on overall learning and personal development. Studies of individual families show that supporting literacy inside the home has a greater impact on student success than family income or education.
In its sixth year, Read Around the World is a major ongoing service initiative of Historic Roswell Kiwanis. Year-round, Kiwanians work to improve child literacy by providing increased access to books, participating in reading activities and by continuously promoting it for education and pleasure.

Between February 1 and March 3, Kiwanis clubs across the globe have participated in local projects that address child literacy in fun and creative ways. Activities include everything from holding a book party to organizing a make-a-book day or staging a “Live with Literature” theater production.
Children who grow up in homes where parents do not read, or have only marginal reading skills, often lack early exposure to reading. They do not have stories read to them by a parent. They do not see books or print materials in their homes. They often do not have parental help with schoolwork.
