The #coronavirus pandemic caused us to change the way we did things, if we didn't stop doing them altogether! Our partner in Delaware, United Way Delaware, adapted remarkably, and we salute them. See the interview we did with them. myveryownlibrary.uchicago.edu/2021/04/22/stu… #MVOL #literacy


#Twinsbook and #ParkerInheritance author Varian Johnson traded stories with #MVOL head Duane Davis on how their kids adapted to home life during quarantine. Parents of little and big kids will relate to his slice-of-life discussion. youtu.be/Udoo1JrnSdk #literacy #fathersday


Thank you! We work directly with UChicago Charter School in #Chicago, and the work they do is remarkable. #summerenrichment #MVOL #literacy

#MVOL head Duane Davis and Ken Livingston were interviewed on 101.7FM / 1150AM WDEL! Davis and Livingston, who leads Get Delaware Reading at United Way Delaware, talked about MVOL's purpose and why this summer is a season of #literacy #enrichment. Take a listen ➡️ bit.ly/2Tl9ziE

We're celebrating 10 years of bolstering literacy and fostering a love of reading in schoolchildren. The #MVOL network makes this work possible. Thank you, ChicagoPublicSchools United Way Delaware United Way GMWC The DREAM Project Rosebud Fdn., Making Waves Fdn., and Scholastic #literacy


Great story from Tony Dokoupil of CBS Mornings, who interviewed Renée Watson. #MVOL agrees wholeheartedly with the metaphors: Books are a foundation, windows, mirrors, and seeds "that you want to nurture and grow over that child's life." bit.ly/3BPBx7K #literacy

In addition to presenting culturally reflective characters to young readers, books as windows can also teach kids how to problem-solve. #MVOL leader Duane Davis, exec. dir. of K12 education initiatives at The University of Chicago, teaches this quick lesson. (Uses teacher's voice. 🙂) #literacy

They were the best of times... well, they were interesting times. A silver lining: the ways in which we loved each other. Todd Barnett of UChicago Charter School gives a glimpse of the student-teacher love shown during #pandemic book distributions. #MVOL #literacy #scholasticbookfair
