VISION STATEMENT

Reading is an essential foundation for success in school, competing successfully in the workplace and for dreaming.  Lifelong education empowers people to ultimately improve socioeconomic conditions for their families, communities, countries and future generations.  Literacy opens doors of opportunity and understanding that no other skill can provide. The ability to read, write and understand stimulates communications that impact every life.

Rock For Reading’s vision is to inspire a community of readers and to create a community of dreamers.
