United to Read
November 19, 2024 | 8:30 – 9:30 am

United to Read is an annual event held in first-grade classrooms in Horry County. In the past, we have recruited over 150 volunteers each year to read the same book to each class.

For the 2024-2025 school year, volunteers will be reading Not A Box by Antoinette Portis. This fun and entertaining children’s book  captures the thrill when pretend feels so real that it actually becomes real—when the imagination takes over and inside a cardboard box, a child is transported to a world where anything is possible.

Every first-grade classroom in Horry County will have a volunteer to read to their class. United to Read is an event that raises awareness of the importance of early literacy and celebrates reading!

Students and volunteers had a blast during the 2022-2023 school year event!
