Houston's literacy crisis is growing, but you can help create generational change! Join ABC13Houston on March 2 as we volunteer with LiteracyNowHTX to read to more than 15,000 students on Houston Reads Day! HouNews
More than 600 volunteers are needed to help turn the page on illiteracy and share their love of reading with students during Houston Reads Day.Data shows a majority of Houston's third graders cannot read on level, but you can help create generational change by sharing the Magic of Storytelling.
We're partnering with the nonprofit Literacy Now to read to more than than 14,000 students from Pre-K through third grade across 35 participating Houston and Aldine ISD schools.For the third year, Houston Reads Day invites Houstonians to come together to bring awareness to the literacy crisis in our city.
Without intervention, students who cannot read on level by third grade are at a greater risk of dropping out of school, and more likely as adults to experience poverty, unemployment, even incarceration. Being a Houston Reads Day volunteer doesn't require a big commitment. You only need to pick up two shifts, reading 15 minutes each at one school near your home or office.
