Serving education departments in Indian Country

Announcements:

Reading Is Fundamental is going Tribal!

Tribal Education Departments National Assembly (TEDNA) has recently signed on as a new partner with Reading Is Fundamental. We are excited to bring Indian Country access to excellent reading material for children and provide more books than ever. We have a goal of reaching 50,000 American Indian students across the United States within the next two months. Over the next four years, tribes, nations, bands, Indian organizations, tribal schools, urban Indian cooperatives, and public schools serving Indian Americans can serve up to 12 books for one student. We feel books in the hands of our students will pay major dividends later on. Many tribes are struggling to create libraries in their communities for their young people and families. Starting a RIF program is a great way for any community leader or educator to lead the charge for literacy.
