Read Across the Bluegrass
Help us celebrate our 101st birthday this month
by joining us for Read Across the Bluegrass!
There are three simple ways to get involved:
-
VOLUNTEER TO BE A GUEST READER.
Record yourself reading your favorite children’s book! You can upload it to the Google Drive here, or send it to Jenn.Goble@uwbg.org by March 31st (iPhone or Android videos are great – just make sure lighting is good and sound is audible). Videos will be shared with classrooms across the Bluegrass.
-
PURCHASE BOOKS for Central KY kids through our Amazon WishList.
Books will be donated to children through local elementary schools and UWBG WayPoint Centers.
-
DONATE $10 TO UWBG to support our fight for the literacy and education of all Central KY students.

Plan to submit a book video?
Here are the directions to follow:
-
Grab your favorite book suitable for elementary school students, turn on your camera, introduce yourself and tell the viewer why you chose this book.
-
Read the story, showing the pictures when you’re able (voices and gestures are an added bonus!).
-
Tell the kids you hope they enjoyed the book and say goodbye.
Upload your video or email it to Jenn.Goble@uwbg.org.
