About Read Aloud Delaware
Read Aloud Delaware volunteer readers are welcomed by a room full of excited children whenever they enter a preschool classroom. Each reading encounter is an opportunity to introduce children from 1 to 5 years old to the world of literacy and to spark the desire to become readers.
While looking at the colorful books and listening to the reader, children hear new words; learn new facts about animals or trees; have a personal experience with the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes; learn how to have a conversation with an adult; and hear grammatically-correct English.
Research has shown that children who are read to from an early age have bigger brains, larger vocabularies, and greater knowledge of the world around them. Most importantly, they are more likely to have mastered language skills which will permit them to interact appropriately with their teachers and their peers. These skills will help them succeed in school and in life.
Success in the early grades leads to less need for costly and intensive remediation. More experience listening to stories helps children develop their brains and helps close the achievement gap.
Children who are read to, talked to and sung to every day from birth in verbal households will have heard 30 MILLION more words by age 3 than children who grow up in less educated and less verbal environments.
This language gap is almost insurmountable and creates the achievement gap. Read Aloud Delaware volunteers are reading every day to counteract this effect.
Children who read one-on-one with Read Aloud Delaware volunteers are:
- More likely to be employed as adults
- Less likely to drop out of school
- Less likely to depend on public assistance
The Read Aloud Delaware experience sets children on the road to literacy success. This is why we are passionate about reading aloud to Delaware's youngest children.

About The Jason Anderson Foundation
The Jason Anderson Foundation for Youth Sports, a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt not-for-profit organization, was founded by the Anderson family after Jason tragically died in an automobile accident in January of 2015 at the age of 33. The outpouring of support for the family from friends, colleagues, co-workers, neighbors and gracious members of the community prompted the family and close friends to establish this foundation in Jason’s name as a way to give back to that community.
Registration fees for youth sports are quickly escalating and can often reach $100 per season but are often higher. While many leagues offer assistance, the need is simply too great for many families to absorb completely. The Jason Anderson Foundation for Youth Sports seeks to help all children participate in a sport of their choice but, due to family circumstances, may not have the funds available for this activity. As such, we have established a not-for-profit to ensure Jason’s memory lives on and that his strong connection to the positive effects of sports participation can be shared by all children. While it is our goal to eventually expand our reach to other markets – including those places where Jason lived and went to school – we are focusing our initial efforts in Delaware where his parents, wife and young son reside.
Sports were an essential part of Jason’s personal and professional life including his time at Syracuse University, the Syracuse Sky Chiefs, the New Orleans Saints, Dover Motor Sports and the Ohio University Sports Administration program. Jason also quietly gave back to his community. He volunteered his time to the Autism Society of Delaware, the Brain Injury Association of Delaware, the Delaware Sports Commission and the Delaware Chamber of Commerce.
Jason chose a career in professional sports but never forgot how important they were to him as a child and demonstrated that commitment through his actions helping young people at all levels.

About The Epilepsy Foundation
The Epilepsy Foundation, in collaboration with our community and network partners, connects the people, data and resources needed to address challenging health problems associated with seizures and the epilepsies—and promotes education, policy, research and systemic change that will foster measurable and sustainable improvement for all people living with epilepsy.
Only a small fraction of the 3.4 million Americans affected by the epilepsies are directly engaged with the Foundation network. People with epilepsy continue to experience stigma around the condition, and diminished opportunities for education and employment. Health disparities and unequal access to care plague our systems. Federal funds appropriated for epilepsy research lag in comparison to other diseases with far lower prevalence. After decades of new therapy development, we are still controlling the symptoms – the seizures – without modifying the course of the disease or preventing it from happening in those at risk. Year after year, we continue to see our loved ones with epilepsy suffer in myriad ways. Lost opportunities, injuries, depression, hopelessness. We lose loved ones with epilepsy, sometimes far too early.
“Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you. - Ruth Bader Ginsburg
The Foundation must rise to meet the serious challenges we face in a new way, with increased focus, greater scale and efficiency, and stronger partnerships with all organizations in the space that are equally committed to improving the lives of people living with the epilepsies.
