What’s so important about getting involved with Reach out and Read Arkansas?
Imagine if you couldn’t read this sentence.
Imagine a family never having money for frivolous things like books when they are trying to feed little mouths.
In fact you don’t have to imagine. Here are the facts:
-In Arkansas 56% of adults read at a 4th grade level.
-50% of our children are not prepared for kindergarten.
Imagine you can do something to change this sobering reality. You can!
You can join us in supporting Reach out and Read Arkansas. 
Reach Out and Read Arkansas (RORA) is on the front lines fighting early childhood illiteracy. RORA works with pediatricians to inform parents of the importance of reading and provides books to these families.
RORA is doing a great job but they need your help.
One of the ways you can join the cause is to attend the first annual LRTweetup Twestival and support Reach out and Read Arkansas. $10 bucks and book (at least 1) gets you in the door.
The event will be held Thursday Sept 10, starting at 5:30P at the Clinton Presidential Library.
You can purchase tickets online and get all the details at LRTweetup.com/twestival
