Launching LitUp Kids!
Did you know that a student who reads poorly in first grade has a 75% probability of reading inadequately in high school (Reach Every Reader)? And, according to this same Harvard research study, ⅔ of students who cannot read proficiently by the end of the 4th grade will end up in jail or on welfare. In addition, 51% of higher performing 13 year old students read at least once a week, while only 28% of lower performing students of the same age read once a week (NAEP).
To combat the alarming downfall of literacy rates in kids, the LitUp Kids strives to repair the bond between kids and books, one read at a time.

Thank you!!
nice, actually useful vid
Glad it helped
Hey Valerie! I just wanted to say something. I normally order my books online and sometimes they don’t have some pages where I can see if it’s my style or not. Every time I see a book that looks interesting I always go to your channel to find it, and you help me a lot. I’m always comfortable choosing books now because I can just go to your channel and see what’s the story of the book! Thank you so much for helping me ❤ keep posting!
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing that! It really means a lot to me that you appreciate my content and comments like yours keep me motivated! What are your favorite recent books? ❤
@@ReadwithVal Hi! Thank you so much for hearting my comment and replying! My recent favorite books are probably a few of Kayla millers graphic novels.. I’m pretty sure you’ve book talked one or two of them, You did besties: work it out, I believe. My recent favorites from this incredible author might just be: act, camp, and break Thanks again! ❤️
@@Cloudy40929I love the Act graphic novel series!! My sister and I read them all the time!
This Is Such An Amazing Place Valerie!
Yes ikr! So glad we both enjoyed it!🫶
I recently read the book as well and I enjoyed it!
I’m slowly but surely easing my way into some thriller books and this was an amazing one!!❤
@@ReadwithVal yes, this was solid. Good for beginners. Some thrillers and mysteries can be very out there and freak people out if they’re new to the genres.
@@ReadwithVal another good introduction thriller/mystery writer is Simone St. James.
Greetings Val, Thank you for the wonderful review and your amazing initiative to do something like this. “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack is a song that came to mind as I was writing this book. You rock, keep showing initiative and never listen to those who tell you not to try. All the best Gabriel M Zubizarreta
Hello Gabriel, Thank you so so much for this kind comment! It truly made my week! I loved your book and will def check out the song you recommended! Best, Val
Thank you for annotating. :)
My pleasure!
I've read it before I think you should do a video of you reading the whole story you'd be really good at it. My name is Val to what's your name or full name
Hi Val! Did you enjoy the book?
@@ReadwithVal yes
I'm reading this book at the moment for school and this video really helped me for annotating! Thank you! 🙏
Glad it was helpful! Do you enjoy the book? Historical fiction is one of my favorite genre!
@@ReadwithVal Yes I really enjoyed it! My favourite character was Mina, definitely. Historical Fiction is one of the genres I really enjoy too! Did you read The Book Thief yet? I really enjoyed that one ❤
Absolutely love the coat you are wearing! and the *luxdups* bag !
Damn, I like to have a tour of that place that place with Tr definitely 12 feeling with nice nice nice Japanese guys
Update: I finished it 🥳❤️
How did you like the book? I hope you don't have parents like Mei's :)
@@ReadwithVal I loved it even when it got sad at times and I’m happy and relived her & Darren are together. Nope my parents aren’t like hers but I think some of the kids at my school have parents like hers a bit
cant hear what your saying
Sorry about that, I had some audio issue with this video :( Please let me know if you have any questions.
I read Finally Seen at your suggestion and loved it! I’ll definitely check out Finally Heard as well! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Hi Valerie! I Wanted To Say That Yesterday Was My Birthday & I'm Having A Birthday Party Today!
Happy birthday! Have fun at the party!
I Did! Thank You!@@ReadwithVal
good book Val
Yes, it's definitely one of my favorite graphic novel series!
thank you, you helped me with my book test :)
Glad I could help! Hope you enjoyed the book!
I’m almost done with it 🥺🥳❤️
❤🎉
Front desk series is my favorite ❤❤.
Agreed! Absolutely the best!
👏👍❤️
Thank you for your review. I saw this come through at my library/workplace and really want to read it now 😊
Have you read it? What do you think? Hope you enjoyed it!
I love Kelly Yang!!!! She never disappoints when it comes to this series
Agreed! I absolutely love all her books!
i thought Ashley😊 was the new girl
Thank you for sharing your experience!
You're welcome! It was very memorable and a lot of fun!
Just wanted you to know that the music makes it very hard to hear any words and the closed captioning was only picking up the music for most of the video. It looked very interesting
Thank you! Sorry about the audio issue.
So far people seem to be enjoying this book, my perception is that I want to rate them until I've read them, the seely relays: For a seventh grader's obsession watching special effects, makeup all balls into a story behind their success in television & film. Plus, having to keep up with their studies a very hard working young upcoming individual.
I know the author! Misty Wilson worked at my school! I was going to go to an author meet thing to see her again but I guess I went to the wrong place or I came too late or it got cancelled or something because no one was there
I love this!! Going to begin allowing my 8 year old to lead read alouds this year and wanted to see where to start! Great recommendations!
Yay!! I'm so glad the recommend is helpful! Which series is your kid's favorite?
Ugh the music...otherwise very cool!
