 READ TO ME is now an independent company, albeit run like a non-profit agency. For 15 years we were sponsored by Teachers & Writers Collaborative that was founded in 1967 by a group of writers and educators who believed that writers could make a unique contribution to the teaching of writing. T&W brings writers and educators together in collaborations that become the source for new ideas and materials and that explore the connections between writing and reading literature. Since 1967, T&W has sent over 400 writers into the schools to teach more than 215,000 children. They also publish a bi-monthly magazine and books, distributed through the 200,000 catalogues mailed annually to educators and writers nationwide.
Over the year contributions for the READ TO ME Program and the two videotapes have come from the following individuals and foundations:
