Across Oregon, kids aren’t meeting reading benchmarks, despite the efforts of our hard-working educators. We want to change that, but we can’t do it alone.
SMART Reading is funded almost entirely by private gifts from individuals, foundations and businesses. This means each and every gift ensures our work goes further—providing vital reading support to more than 11,000 of Oregon’s kids every year. With reading support and free books to keep, SMART Reading directly helps each young reader and delivers long-term benefits statewide by building literacy in each community.
With students facing unprecedented learning loss due to the coronavirus pandemic, this work is more important than ever, and we’re so glad you’re with us.
