June 1-August 10, 2015
This summer, libraries, schools, and community groups such as summer reading
camps, Scout troops, Boys and Girls clubs, and community recreation
centers can participate through a specially designed program.
The
L4LL basic Summer Reading Program is for infants to young adults and
features our curated recommended reading lists of Latino children's
literature in English and Spanish, a reading pledge, reading log, and
certificate of achievement.The L4LL DIY Summer Reading Camp is for children ages 6-12. This program is specifically designed to boost
literacy skills such as reading comprehension
and writing through 10 themed (Art, Music, Poetry, Food, Folklore,
Sports, Summer, Familia, Nature, Heritage & Immigration) literacy modules that each feature 6 literacy activities. This year we're proud to include activities written or illustrated by award-winning Latino children's authors and illustrators. Visit Latinas4LatinoLit.org
Our Mission
Hispanics significantly underachieving in school, beginning with basic reading, galvanized L4LL to develop the first, nationwide, online
children’s summer reading program specifically designed to reach, engage, and raise the literacy rates of Latino students and their families.
Opportunities
are available for you, your organization, and company to join our
mission today to raise literacy rates and invest in our tomorrow of
educational and professional achievement. Your commitment will help us
improve lives through improved literacy, one student and one family at a
time.

New Mexico True Summer Reading Challenge
The 2015 New Mexico True Summer Reading Challenge is
a free reading program dedicated to stopping the "summer slide" by
encouraging our New Mexico students to read more books over the summer
break. Reading is the foundation for learning, and when our students
read well, they are better positioned to succeed academically, in the
workplace and in life.
