Community Involvement Literacy Projects
 
      Research regarding the effects of family involvement on educational outcomes           has shown that parental involvement makes a difference in children’s academic
      achievement. The Community Involvement Committee is dedicated to promoting       literacy across Texas through its community projects.
 
         

    Growing Readers Book Project
 
 
             Our Growing Readers Book Project provides crates of books at local 
             organizations for children and young adults who lack access to reading
             materials along with a pamphlet for parents on the importance of literacy. The
             literacy pamphlet includes information on how to pick books for their children,
             a list of literacy links along with apps to utilize, plus reading tips and
             strategies.
        

 
   TALE Little Free Library
 
 
             This project promotes literacy and a love of reading by providing a
             Little Free Library in areas where children and young adults don’t have
             access to books. By providing free books, the library can help develop
             reading skills, as well as cultivate a lifetime reading habit.

   TALE Book Drives
 
              Our Committee organizes book drives to collect gently used books for our
              literacy projects. TALE members and the community are encouraged to
              participate in our book drives to help support literacy advancement in Texas.
