2025 ViPS Jane Mendel Reading Day:
The tradition continues on Tuesday, November 18!

It is our goal to have a community reader in every elementary classroom in the Little Rock School District on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2025.

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.

  • Help us fill every LRSD elementary classroom with a reader. Flexibility is appreciated!

  • Waiting lists available for full schools.
  • 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?
  • THANK YOU for your participation! You will receive your assignment from ViPS by early November.
    If you have questions, please call 447-ViPS.
