The Cal Football Summer Reading Challenge Book Drive is back! The book drive will focus on supporting access to reading within the Cal Football Reading Challenge.
Our Focus: 1st - 5th Grade East Bay Classrooms. Reading at grade level by the end of 3rd grade is a key predictor of a student's long-term academic and career success. The Cal Football Reading Challenge Book Drive will focus on providing books to 1st - 5th graders at Title I schools in West Contra Costa Unified School District, Berkeley Unified School District, and Oakland Unified School District. Book titles have been sourced with the support of our curriculum and literacy experts in our partner districts.
Our Goal: Our goal is to provide a minimum of 500 books in East Bay classrooms. Books will be distributed by Cal Football Student-Athletes and accompany a classroom visit & read aloud. Every book donated will find its way to a Title I classroom and a Bay Area student to encourage summer reading.
How to Contribute:
Buy a new book directly from our Amazon wish list: book titles have been sourced with the support of our curriculum and literacy experts in our partner districts. Please include your email in the Amazon gift slip so we can thank you!
And there is more! If you donate 10 or more books from the wish list, you will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win exciting autographed items!
The book drive will run from April 20th to June 1st to provide new books to Bay Area students.
