TEHACHAPI, Calif. -- The Tehachapi Rotary Club has been working for the last four months to provide books for every single kindergartener in the Tehachapi School District, but the books aren’t filled with your run of the mill story.

The group delivered over 320 books to the kindergarten students all in an effort to spark the young students interest in reading.

But what makes these books so special is that each and every one of them is personlaized for the student.

Rotary member Rhonda Brady said, “Each book has the child’s name, their parent’s names, their pets, their friends throughout the book, their teachers name, so that they’re excited about seeing their names, their teacher’s name, and all of their friends throughout the entire book.”

Four months ago, the students filled out questionaires and their answers were put into their very own story.

Teachers said the personalized books are great way to get the kids interested in reading.

Kindergarten teacher Julie Zweigle said, "They’ve come to a point in their education that they are reading, and this is the point they need to be excited about it. So, when they read a book that has their name in it and their friends name in it, and the names of their pet, they get excited and they want to read more. Maybe this will inspire them during the summer time to read when they’re not in the school classroom.”

Not only will the personalizd books motivate the students to continue reading, but Zweigle said it is also something that is completely their own.

“Kids sometimes don’t have the access to books. I know we have a local library, but sometimes parents work and don’t have those opportunities to take the kids to the library, so they’ll have their very own book that they can read for themselves," said Zweigle.

Each book costs just over $3 to publish but the Rotary Club said the rewards definitely outweigh the costs.

This was the first year the club donated the personalized books, but they said it will now be happening every year in an effort to promote literacy throughout the community.
