KINDLE FOR AT-RISK KIDS INC.
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

Welcome to Kindle for At Risk Kids Kindle for At Risk Kids is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Fort Lauderdale which provides and promotes the use of e-readers to at-risk children in the delinquency and dependency court systems. We work to help make widely available the vital benefits of reading and literacy for these at-risk youth. The benefits of reading by youth are multi-dimensional: neurological, educational, psychological, social, and linguistic. Important developmental stages are present at ages 6-10, the "learning to read" stage; thereafter at ages 11-13 (and beyond), the "reading to learn" stage. Boosting the prospects for at-risk children during these consequential developmental years, cost-efficient e-readers can provide meaningful opportunity for their personal and intellectual growth. Kindle for At Risk Kids e-readers have a preloaded library composed of 25 e-books which have been selected as edifying and quality works in the public domain and which can be expanded or modified, as follows: The Kindle for At Risk Kids program is here to help you establish an innovative and affordable at-risk youth reading program for your at-risk youth. We run a tight ship and operate without pay - yet the rewards are great.  "Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him." ~ Maya Angelo
