Support the Alliance for Literacy
'Hooked on Books' campaign
...Reel kids into reading

The Alliance for Literacy is a group of students, teachers, schools, libraries, local organizations and businesses working together to get kids hooked on books. Too many children in our community fail to learn to read proficiently in the early grades. If reading remains difficult, students do not read independently and lack the hours of practice needed for mastery.

• 40% - 50% of Santa Fe public school students drop out before graduation
• New Mexico is ranked 48th in the nation in literacy
• 3,000 students drop out of school every day in America

Our goal: To create incentives that get kids hooked on reading and to get the whole community supporting literacy. This campaign is reaching out to every school in Santa Fe County and has already reached over 1,000 children!

You can support literacy in Santa Fe by making a donation or sponsoring a bookshelf.

Make a Donation to the Alliance for Literacy: 100% of your donation goes directly towards providing books, tutoring services and prizes for reading competitions. You can also choose to donate a prize or prizes for a campaign reading competition i.e. bookstore gift certificates, books, iPad, iPod, e readers, gift cards, laptop, scooter, skateboard.
