2026 ViPS Jane Mendel Reading Day:
The tradition continues on Tuesday, November 17!

It is our goal to have a community reader in every elementary classroom in the Little Rock School District on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2026.

Won't you help us? It takes less than an hour to arrive at a school, select a book and read to a class. Most assignments are made between 8:30 am and 11:00 am in 20-30 minute blocks. Most readers choose to read to two classes back-to-back when space is available.

  • Specific classroom requests are filled in the order they are received.

  • Would you be willing to read to two classes at the same school, back-to-back?
