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.
