Impactful to Our Community
United Way’s Literacy Kits are designed to focus on the skills young children need when learning to read, while at the same time, diving deeper into the book and its themes…all while getting the students engaged in a particular book!
Each kit includes a book selected for a certain age level along with related activities custom crafted for one-on-one interaction between a child and an adult reader, volunteer, parent or caregiver.
Literacy Kits are impactful to our community as data shows kids who cannot read proficiently at the end of 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than their peers.
We support literacy in the San Antonio and Bexar County community through various reading programs, after- and out-of-school time curriculums and individual academic plans to ensure academic success. Literacy has the power to change lives, and reading is the superpower that builds the foundation for a hopeful future.
When you build a Literacy Kit, you are providing resources for young children and families to enhance literacy and school readiness.
