About


our mission


Read Aloud Denver's mission is to empower children and their parents and caregivers. Our goal is to help make it easier for parents and caregivers to bring their children to Read Aloud Storytimes in the Denver area and encourage them to develop the habit of reading aloud every day to their kids. 

Vivienne Houghton was inspired to create this website after reading The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease. She wanted to do her part to promote reading aloud to children, help break the cycle of illiteracy and poverty, and help develop lifetime readers.  

Vivienne is an Early Childhood Librarianship Fellow in the University of Denver's Master's in Library and Information Science Program. She will graduate in June 2012.
