About SMART Reading
SMART Reading is a children’s literacy nonprofit that serves kids in Oregon’s highest need schools with two ingredients critical for literacy and learning success: one-on-one reading time and access to books. We mobilize volunteers to read with PreK through third-grade children, building confidence, literacy skills and a love of reading. We also operate a Book Bank that collects community-donated books that are sorted, cleaned, and refurbished before going out to local kids. Through all its programming, SMART Reading provides a meaningful way for Oregonians to make a direct impact in their communities.
Since 1992, SMART Reading has steadily grown to become Oregon’s largest volunteer literacy program. Kids in the program receive 14 new books throughout the school year to keep and read with their families.
