The Kindness Club

A Kindness Club read-aloud isn’t just story time, it’s a celebration of young voices!

Each book we read is written by a student from our publishing program, making every story extra special. When volunteers read tales to students created by someone their own age, it lights a spark. Suddenly, writing a book doesn’t feel like a far-off dream; it feels like something they can do, too!

A Kindness Club Volunteer will lead a 15-minute story time once a month in a registered classroom. Each session will feature an age-appropriate book selected from our catalog of published student authors. Following the read-aloud, the book will be donated to the classroom library, helping to build a special collection of titles written by student authors. Kindness is the currency, so the class will have to earn the books by completing a class checklist of 30 acts of kindness each month.

How it works

Leap for Literacy is a nonprofit organization that encourages children's success through the power of literacy and kindness. To date, Leap for Literacy has published over 200 books written by children, and this first Books for Kids by Kids box is just the beginning. With over 50 additional books by young authors being published annually, Leap for Literacy will create curated boxes to appeal to all age groups and demographics, ensuring that each child feels represented, inspired, and empowered. Join us as we make history by purchasing the first-ever Books for Kids by Kids collection, and inspire your students to dream big and share their stories.
