At I Would Rather Be Reading (IWRBR), we believe in the transformative power of literacy and social-emotional learning (SEL) to empower children and create a brighter future. One of the fundamental pillars of our approach is building empathy, a crucial skill that fosters understanding, compassion, and positive relationships.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, and it plays a central role in promoting inclusivity, kindness, and resilience.
By nurturing empathy in children, we not only cultivate a more compassionate society but also empower young individuals to navigate complex social interactions with empathy and understanding.

At IWRBR, we are committed to fostering empathy and social-emotional skills in children to empower them to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. Join us in building empathy and transforming lives, one story at a time.
