FUTURE COMMUNITY IMPACT PROGRAMS
READERS = LEADERS
The READERS = LEADERS program is designed to help improve
elementary student’s reading scores. As
part of the Readers = Leaders, Reggie will serve as the “Reading
Champion” for all participating elementary schools. Reggie will hammer home the
importance of reading through a series of audio/video PSAs, motivational-style
posters and school-owned/controlled outlets that can be used to encourage
students to read (i.e. robo calls).
The DETermined to Assist Foundation would also offer incentives to students who really work hard to
read. Students can win everything from
gift cards, to pictures of Reggie, to their very own Reggie Jackson bookmark.
The top reader in each school would be invited to attend a top readers party
with Reggie each May.

The DETermined to Assist Foundation Plans include launching more Literacy Lounges in the Detroit Metro Area.
To help improve elementary
student’s reading scores, Reggie’s DETermined to Assist Foundation will create
Reggie’s Literacy Lounges within existing school libraries of deserving Title I
schools. The Literacy Lounges will feature Reggie Jackson-themed wall decals,
seating areas for students to read, and bookshelves stocked with 600
age-appropriate books. |
