The Word about Winn Reading keeps spreading!
This summer has been busy with many activities - including our summer reading program…see below for recent stories appearing in our local media market and our recent addition of a new Program Coordinator
Cincinnati Kids Keep Reading All Summer
Spectrum News followed a Cincinnati family making the most of summer break — keeping their kids reading so they hold onto the skills they built all school year. Their children are part of Winn Reading's summer sessions, where one-on-one time at the library helps young readers beat the "summer slide" and head into fall stronger.

$10,000 Grant Boosts Cincinnati Literacy
WCPO 9 spotlighted Winn Reading's work in a city where fewer than six in 10 third graders read at grade level. A $10,000 grant from the Scripps Howard Fund and WCPO 9 is helping us put more decodable books in kids' hands, train and background-check our mentors, and expand reading support across our partner schools.
