Lit for Literacy

Lit for Literacy is a fun and interactive series of events used to address the literacy gap for children in grade levels pre-k through third grade to promote a love for reading and help build in home libraries by increasing opportunities for access to books in underserved communities.

The Goal of Lit for Literacy

An open book

  • Increase access to books in underserved communities

  • Increase the opportunities in which a child is provided a book

  • Increase the number of books in the home

  • Bridge the literacy gap among children in underserved communities

  • Promote the love of reading and its importance

  • Increase public awareness around the importance of having access to books and literacy resources

  • Support the efforts of grade level reading for children by the 3rd grade level

Lit for Literacy is created to address the literacy gap for youth, grade levels pre-k through third grade, residing in under served communities.

​

Lit for Literacy serves North, South, East, and West Houston areas that are impacted by low literacy levels, low income, or low access to quality books.
