DIBS – For Kids
Dave Orrick
What prevents teachers from sending books home? Would parents read?
What would the benefits be?
How to make that financially possible?
Dave started Delivering Infinite Bookshelves for Kids.
Delivering books to low income families in Omaha to increase their learning. By the third grade, studies can predict the success of students by the amount of reading they do. Literacy by third grade is crucial.
Dave is organizing the program so para teachers can administrate the program.
Send books home , every night. Follow up the next day with questions about the story.
It took $15000 to put books in just one school. Dave is expanding to another school in August. He wants to be in 5 schools as quickly as possible.
Thanks Dave for all the interesting information.
