Newsroom

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!! Every Child a Reader is on its way to becoming a household name not only in Escambia County but along the Gulf Coast and beyond. In an effort to share all the wonderful news of ECARE’s programs, resources, and successes, this page is dedicated to making it easier for you, the reader, to keep close tabs on what’s going on (and there is a lot!)

ECARE has plans for an extraordinary public relations campaign. Following its kickoff in June 2008, the program is developing many educational opportunities through print and electronic media as well as in-person speaking engagements, participation in local conferences and expos and much more.

Additionally, to make our public relations process more user-friendly we will not only forward press releases to the various members of the press, but post them online for their easy access.

If you as a reader have a suggestion for a literacy related story or something that would involve ECARE locally we’d love for you to be our eyes and ears in the community. Budding cub reporters please e-mail those tips to our Executive Director Clairen Reese through this website. She will appreciate your participation!
