THE POWER OF READING. THE POWER OF WOMEN.

We congratulate Tina Fey for being a 2018 Variety Power of Women honoree, the event that recognizes philanthropic women across the entertainment industry.

Thanks, Tina, for supporting RIF and children’s literacy. When kids develop strong reading skills, they also develop the confidence to live a life without limits – like performing stand up in front of a tough crowd!

RIF has curated this collection of books and accompanying literacy activities that celebrate the achievements and everyday heroics of women and girls.
