Our Commitment
Kid Scoop News Louisiana continues to provide elementary-school children innovative and high-interest reading materials designed to encourage independent reading, both in school and at home. The more children read, the better they read. Access to high-interest reading materials drives the motivation to read, which in turn leads to reading achievement in school, and, ultimately, success in life.
Funding
Kid Scoop News Louisiana is funded entirely by grants and sponsorships. All funds flow through the Family Resource Group Foundation.
