Kids Need to Read Selects uKloo Game for READ Together National Program

Mesa, AZ, January 14, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Kids Need to Read (KNTR) has teamed up with early reader game developer uKloo Kids Inc. to donate Early Reader Treasure Hunt games to the READ Together Program. The program partners with schools and other literacy organizations to encourage adult caregivers to read every day with their children. The uKloo game will be another fun method to engage budding readers while improving comprehension, logic and reasoning skills. By utilizing this game, as many as 2,000 children will be given an alternative reading experience through physically active reading play.

Denise Gary, Executive Director, KNTR, said, “Games like uKloo are extremely useful in helping children view reading as a joyful experience, possibly affecting their attitude toward reading forever. uKloo is a terrific resource to help inspire children to read at an early age, allowing this vital, lifelong process to begin in a positive manner.”

uKloo games were created by Doreen Dotto, a mom whose two boys avoided reading homework at all costs. With the help of teachers, parents and kids, Dotto designed uKloo games to engage reluctant readers and improve sight reading, reading comprehension, logic, reasoning and problem-solving skills. The games have been tested and approved for learning excellence for children with special needs.

Dotto, President, Ukloo Kids, Inc., and creator of the uKloo games, said, “It’s a privilege to have our uKloo Early Reader game selected for the READ Together program. uKloo's partnership with KNTR will give children with various learning styles a fun, proven-effective reading experience. Our partnership will help empower children by developing their early literacy skills so that they can embark on a life-long love of reading.”

READ Together utilizes a wealth of leveled books, educational resources, reading buddies, tips for caregivers on the go, and inspiration, all designed to increase at-home reading activities on a daily basis. Through a consistent, effective approach, young students will develop vital reading skills that will serve them throughout their educational years and beyond.
