Celebrate with us...as we celebrate books for children!
Click on the video above to watch some of our favorite RIF of NOVA book activities -- putting books into the hands of deserving children (both before and during the pandemic) and raising funds to do so through our Book It For Books 5K/One-Mile Run! Our 2021 Book It run is set for October! Watch this space for details!

And what does one book mean? It turns out that involvement in a RIF book program can change a life. Please listen to Ingrid Bynum, principal of Patrick Henry K-8 School in Alexandria, during an interview at her school's NOVA RIF book distribution in October. Plus, as Principal Bynum points out, because NOVA RIF provided books, parents at her school were not "forced to choose between essential reading material and food."
$3 = one book = one child!
If you'd like to help, please send a check to the post office box listed below or click here or on the Donate box on any page to donate online. Your generous donations to the cause of literacy for children in our region will be most gratefully appreciated.
Because of you, RIF of NOVA kids will be able to choose books of their own, even in a pandemic!
With sincerest thanks,
Members of the Board, Reading is Fundamental of Northern Virginia

"Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams
and more reading helped me make my dreams come true." -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school."
-- Beverly Cleary
