The Village at the Florida Center for Reading Research (FCRR) is working to strengthen reading and literacy development in the community by providing Community Engagement & Empowerment Kits. These kits offer parents and children engaging books and activities to deliver fun, literacy-based activities to students.

By focusing on reading achievement, we aim to positively affect the economic prosperity, equitable opportunity, health and well-being, and overall quality of life of everyone in our community. We are pleased to announce that these kits are available to our community partners for free.

Thanks to a successful campaign with FSU's Great Give, a 24-hour university-wide day of giving that allows Seminole fans to support areas they are passionate about at Florida State University, we have been able to make these kits available to you. The generosity of 55 supporters has made this possible.

We would love for you to receive these kits and use them with the children and families that you serve. Links to download the materials included in the kits are provided below and additional resources can be found on our For Communities page.

The materials below are part of the physical kits, including four infographics and a student center activity.
