As a RIF volunteer, you select and buy inexpensive books for your RIF kids to choose during book distribution events, the heart of every RIF program.

How you use these events to generate enthusiasm for books and reading is limited only by your imagination (and your budget)!

Since its founding, RIF has emphasized the importance of motivation in learning to read. Its goal has always been to create lifelong readers, not just distribute books. For this reason, RIF programs must include reading motivation activities. 

• Guest Readers
  Read-alouds have always been a part of RIF distributions. Read our Tips for Guest Readers.
  
  
• Hands-on Activities
  Make a book come to life with hands-on activities. Set up a bookmaking table, send kids on a book-themed scavenger hunt, or make a collage. The possibilities are endless! Search activities. 
  
  
• Ongoing Activities and Reading Campaigns 
  Reading campaigns motivate young readers by helping them visualize their progress toward a goal. Learn about RIF's events and contests.
