Recognizing increased screen time and the impact it has on literacy rates,
Nancy Reynolds Elementary School takes steps to put new, fun, age-
appropriate books into the hands of every one of its students.
October 8, 2024
Kids are reading less, screen time is increasing, and school budgets are
tight. On a mission to make reading cool again, Sabrina Moore decided to
meet with the team at Books Are Fun to learn more about their book
enrichment program – Book Blast.
With its innovative approach to creating more book worms, Book Blast
guarantees at least one new book into the hands of every student at
absolutely no cost to the school, little work from the school team, and no
financial requirement of the parents. After reviewing the program and
understanding there was zero risk to the school, Sabrina Moore moved
forward and scheduled Book Blast to launch at Nancy Reynolds Elementary
School on Tuesday, August 27, 2024 .
In two short weeks, with the help of the community (far and wide), the students at Nancy Reynolds Elementary School have over 886 brand new, age-appropriate books heading their way!
Here’s what Sabrina Moore had to say about the Book Blast program, “I am so thankful for the folks in our families and community who have stepped up and made donations so that our Dragons have new books in their homes, classroom libraries and in the school library! It is a GREAT day to be a Dragon!”
