Help Save RIF

Did you know the House Budget proposes eliminating all funding for RIF (Reading is Fundamental)?

Very sad.

Don't think RIF is important? Read this article from the director of RIF (or this one), or read this article in Psychology Today, or explore the RIF website. Want to find out the awesome work RIF has done in your state or find out how your child can participate and benefit (Everyone can! We do!)? Explore the map and search by zipcode.

Contact your Senator, especially if he or she is on the Subcommittee on Labor Health & Human Services and Education (but even if he or she is not).

I know, I know. I'm sure you think there are many things in the proposed budget to despise (or maybe you love it, I don't know). And I have my opinions, too (are you surprised?).  However, this is a living-with-kids blog and a book-loving blog so that's why I'm singling out RIF. Okay? Okay.

This ends today's PSA.
