Read3Zero Literacy Organization inspires children to READ 30 minutes a day and WRITE their own stories, while providing publishing and leadership opportunities to our youth. '? At Read3Zero we embrace both sides of literacy, focusing on being a reader and a writer at a young age. '? The I Write Short Stories by Kids for Kids annual publishing contest awards children for their academic and artistic achievements. We have published over 300 kids in the 33rd-12th grade since 2009. '? The act of being a published, young author or illustrator increases positive self-esteem and encourages our youth to become role models to other. '? This year, at our 6th Annual I Write Luncheon and Book Signing event, READ3Zero will acknowledge the works of 60 published student authors and 5 illustrators. Event Name: 6th Anniversary Luncheon and Book Signing '? Event Date: November 14, 2015 '? Event Time: 10 am '? Event Number: 713-845-5808 '? Event Website: read3zero.org
