VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Vicky + Read Aloud Delaware
Sharing the Joy of Reading, One Child at a Time
Read Aloud Delaware is a statewide nonprofit focused on early childhood literacy, promoting reading aloud and early talk with children to encourage a love of books and support positive brain development.
Volunteer reader Vicky helps bring books and stories to life for young children through Read Aloud Delaware’s Volunteer Reading Program.
For Vicky, volunteering is about more than reading a story. It is an opportunity to connect one on one with children, encourage curiosity, and help foster a lifelong love of books.
“I really enjoy volunteering with a program that brings the joy of reading to young children. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect one-on-one while fostering a love of books. Reading encourages the emergence of ideas, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. Most of all, it’s a lot of fun to see their imaginations come alive and share in their excitement about stories!”
