Being an In2Books Pen Pal

Pen pals help 3rd-6th grades students learn more about the world outside their classrooms and build the reading, thinking, and writing skills they need to succeed in school and in life.


Your Commitment as a Pen Pal

Active involvement with a student from September to June
Read five children's books
Exchange two letters for each book

Are you ready to make a difference in a child's life and education?

Volunteer as a pen pal for 2011-2012
I can't tell you the joy I have gotten as I have seen one of my pen pals improve his reading and comprehension skills.
