A perfect holiday gift: literacy

What can I do this season to promote literacy?

Make a donation on First Book’s® Web site in December, and Random House Children’s Books will match your donation. Your gift will count twice!

Instead of the traditional gift exchange between friends, have everyone donate brand-new books to a local nonprofit program serving underprivileged youth.

Send flowers to the hostess of your holiday party from 1-800-FLOWERS.COMTM. For every purchase made, some of the proceeds come back to the Fraternity to support Fraternity programming, including various literacy projects.

Shop for friends and family at The Literacy Site. For every purchase, a donation of books is generated. Browse the site and you will find jewelry, clothing and accessories from various designers.

Above all else … just read! Read to your children or younger siblings. Or, think about volunteering your time to read to children in the hospital or at a local shelter.
