Testimonials

“RIF goes above and beyond to ensure that not only do our students have high interest, high quality books to read, but also that we as teachers feel supported in delivering engaging literacy instruction.”
- Read for Success Professional Development Participant, San Francisco, CA
“I used to think being culturally responsive in my practice would be challenging and require a lot of preparation and research. Now I know that by using storytelling I have one way to include students' different perspectives and backgrounds by allowing them to share their stories. This changes the focus from teacher directed to student centered.”
