The literacy crisis in America is real. According to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), only 43% of U.S. fourth graders scored at or above a proficient level in reading. Studies also show that students with greater access to books perform better academically than their peers who lack this simple resource.
That’s why, this October, in honor of National Book Month, SONIC Drive-In is turning its passion for literacy into action. You’re invited to interview some of the people working to spread the love of reading and bring books into the hands of those who need them most.
SONIC donates a portion of every drink purchase back to support local students and teachers through its Limeades for Learning initiative. For National Book Month, the SONIC Foundation is teaming up with educational nonprofit partner DonorsChoose, donating $1.25 million to fund reading and literacy projects submitted by public school teachers for the “Fill Every Shelf” campaign.
But that’s not all – SONIC is also partnering with Little Free Library to bring 25 free “take a book, leave a book” libraries to communities in need across the country.
Stuart Brown, Executive Director of the SONIC Foundation, and Shavawn Simmons, representing Family Literacy of Georgia on behalf of Little Free Library, discuss with CONN how you can make a difference – from inspiring new readers to supporting literacy in their own backyards.
