Take the Literacy Pledge

Because literacy is critical to me and my community…

    • I will talk with others about the power of learning.
    • I will expand my own literacy by learning something new this year.
    • I will help someone else learn.
    • I will engage in creative expression.
    • I will share books and stories with family and friends.
    • I will stay connected to the literacy movement.

Thank you to all of the people below who have taken the Literacy Pledge! Together we are reaching our vision to bring about a culture of literacy where each of us can reach our potential and live richer, fuller lives.
