Real Men Read is a kindergarten literacy program that enhances reading skills and builds home libraries for all MCCSC kindergarteners.

Volunteers are male members of our community who are passionate about reading and helping our kindergarteners learn to read.  MENtors are assigned to a kindergarten classroom and read a preselected book during the months of October, November, February, March and April.   After the reading each child is given a copy of the book for their home library.

Volunteers must submit information for a back ground check and will be required to wear a mask while volunteering.

Books for this year are listed below along with links to recorded readings, information, and new vocabulary.   Our goal is to share fun activities and exciting stories with our early readers to encourage a love reading.

Research shows that reading with a child at home is one of the best ways to increase reading skills. 

If you are interested in volunteering as a MENtor please email us at fmccs@mccsc.edu
