			1 National Literacy Month National Literacy Month Did you know that September is National Literacy Month? A special time to encourage the young people in your life to go to the library, pick up a good book, and explore new worlds. The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages early literacy as a way to prepare young children for school and nurture a love of early reading. How will you celebrate? We can think of a few ways! Click here or here to start a Book Drive for ROR-KC, explore local library resources, digitally volunteer with ROR-KC by sharing a story, or join a book club!
