About this episode

Todd Courtney discusses the efforts of the Max Rhymes Foundation to provide free books to young children in under-resourced schools.

All it takes is one school raising its hand. When a school identifies the need, the Max Rhymes Foundation activates its network to secure funding for books and classroom supplies — whether for a single K–2 classroom or an entire district. The Max Rhymes Foundation currently has funding to adopt additional schools…especially under-resourced schools in large metro areas, allowing entire communities to be reached at once. Teachers can sign up directly at www.MaxRhymesEducators.org to access and download resources immediately. More information is available at www.MaxRhymesFoundation.org .
