The REAL Program | Literacy Nonprofit’s Post

Jamie's Story - Part 4 Jamie is elated to have been given a brand new book from the Reading Bridge program. Its flashy cover, engaging images and grade-appropriate text is just the right fit for her personality. That evening, Jamie’s mother gets home early from work and they read her new book together. Jamie’s story is an all too common one among thousands of Bay Area students. Without the right literacy tools, students fall further and further behind in all subjects. Children without books in the home are more likely to experience learning loss during the Summer. Jamie’s challenges are not over, but small gifts can make a big difference in the trajectory of a child’s life. Give that gift today by supporting Reading Bridge. There's still time to donate! - https://buff.ly/4fWNT0S . . . . . . . @BooksInc @booksincstores @BooksIncCentral. #booksinc #booksincstores #booksinccentral #readingbridge #booknonprofit #reading #books #literacy #childrensbooks #yabooks #picturebooks #nonprofit #bayarea #comics #comicbooks #school #education #earlychildhood #stories #learning #students #bookfair #literacy #nonprofit #charity #givingtuesday #philanthropy #BuildABookWormHoard

🎓 Skill-Building in Action! 📚✨ Our high school students recently participated in an engaging workshop on skimming and scanning – essential skills for any reader! 💡 Using a mix of texts—classic literature, recipes, poems, and contemporary flash fiction—they practiced: 🔍 Skimming to identify themes, like uncovering the heart of a poem. 📖 Scanning to find key details, such as a specific measurement in a recipe. We introduced these strategies with purpose-driven questions that helped them put their skills into action! #SkillBuilding #ReadingStrategies #HighSchoolWorkshops #EducationMatters #EmpoweringStudents #Harlem #NYC #Manhattan #NewYorkCity #YouthDevelopment #Academics #School #AfterSchool #CollegeAccess #CollegePrep #SocialWork #MentalHealth #Squash #USSquash #SquashCourt #SquashLife #Squashtime #Support #Community #GiveBack #Donate #Donation #Nonprofit #501c3

Supporting Children's Literacy: A Call for Help 📚✨ As an author of children's books, I've witnessed firsthand the power of storytelling to inspire and educate young minds. However, I've also seen how much more needs to be done to make sure every child has access to the magic of books. My best friend Makgatla Thepa-Lephale runs a children's library in our village of Botlokwa that has been facing significant challenges over the years including lack of support, coupled with incidents of vandalism. Despite these setbacks, we want the library to continue to serve as a vital space for children to discover the joy of reading. Now, I’m reaching out for your support in two crucial ways: 1. Help restore and strengthen the library: Donations of books, supplies, volunteer time to guard the facility can go a long way in ensuring this library continues its mission. 2. Support my journey as a children’s author: I am dedicated to publishing and donating more books to libraries like this one. However, to do so, I need help with funding, publishing, or connections that could bring these books to children in need. Together, we can make a meaningful difference. If you have resources, ideas, or know someone who can assist in these efforts, please reach out. Let’s work together to build a brighter future for our kids, one book at a time. #SupportChildren #LiteracyMatters #CommunitySupport #ChildrensLibrary #EmpowerThroughReading #GiveBack #BooksForAll #MakingADifference #DonateBooks #AuthorsForChange
