Children's Program - Kid's Reading Club

Our free Kids Reading Club helps K–5 students build confidence, strengthen reading skills, and develop a lifelong love of books in a fun and supportive environment. Children participate in reading activities, games, crafts, writing exercises, and guided literacy support twice each week. Every child also takes home free books to build their own home library, while families receive tools and encouragement to support reading at home. Spots are limited. Enroll today.

Email ReadtoSucceed@TheReadingPeople.org or call 517-485-4949 to enroll your child today.

FALL 2026 youth reading programs

Free fall reading programs for students entering kindergarten through 5th grade.
All families must attend Family Orientation and complete required paperwork before their child
can begin.

How to start enrollment:
Step 1: Sign up for family orientation.
Step 2: Attend orientation.
Step 3: Complete all required paperwork.
Step 4: Receive confirmation that your child is ready to attend.
Signing up for Family Orientation temporarily holds your child's spot. Your child's spot is confirmed only after orientation and paperwork are complete.
