We are very much saddened by the passing of Gov. M. Jodi Rell, a true CRIS Radio champion who once served as a volunteer reader. She believed in our mission of making the world more accessible, and celebrated our Windsor broadcast center ribbon-cutting event in 2010. Our condolences to her family and close friends.

At the Connecticut Youth Services Association’s annual conference in Hartford today to share the CRISKids Audio Book Club evaluation results. More than 80% of students using CRISKids during the summer did not experience the summer slide and lowest level readers improved reading skills more compared to those who did not use CRISKids.
