SUMMARY:Amplify Austin 2019
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nGive to Literacy First during Amplify Austin and\nhelp teach 1600 children to read this year alone.\nOn February 28 through March 1\, Literacy First will participate in Amplify Austin\, a community giving day held by I Live Here I Give Here\, and we need your help. Our goal is to raise $25\,000 in 24 hours. Join Literacy First in building a brighter future for our community! \nDonate Now \nDID YOU KNOW\n\n \nEvery day\, Literacy First students track their reading progress on a special chart. Your $13 contribution covers the cost of one literacy lesson where a student builds confidence\, chart by chart.\n \nMany Literacy First students come to us with no knowledge of letter sounds. Your $26 gift honors every letter our students learn while they launch their love of learning.\n \nA sticker a day is the perfect prize for young readers. Your $51 gift celebrates the stickers and smiles an average Literacy First student collects while they’re reading their way to grade level.\n \nWhile they walk students to and from their lessons\, Literacy First tutors transform into mentors and role models. Your $85 gift represents each of our tutors making a positive impact that stretches beyond the classroom.\n \nTen students a day means lots of germs floating around the classroom! Your $103 contribution buys a personal bottle of hand sanitizer for every tutor so they stay healthy while they teach our students to read.\nAmplify Austin is an annual citywide day of online giving that seeks to inspire community members to build a better Austin by giving back to the causes they’re passionate about. Please\, schedule a donation to Literacy First here. Your gift will be amplified through an incentive pool and may help Literacy First win monetary prizes.

SUMMARY:Dr. Seuss Reading Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thank you to all of our Dr. Seuss Reading Day 2019 attendees!\nLiteracy First’s Lawyers for Literacy group invites members of the community who are interested in taking up the fight against childhood illiteracy in Austin to join us for Dr. Seuss Reading Day! Give an hour of your day to connect with AmeriCorps members giving a year of service\, observe part of a one-to-one literacy tutoring lesson\, and read a book aloud to a young child who will be delighted to see you! \nWe thank you for your support of Lawyers for Literacy\, Literacy First\, and Austin’s youngest readers. \nDetails\nDate: Friday\, March 1\, 2019\nTime: Shifts begin at 8:30am / 10am / 12pm. Each shift is approximately one hour long from start to finish.\nClick here to view a map of participating schools. \nParking\nEach school has limited designated visitor parking. Please mind the signs\, but you will not need a special parking permit. If the visitor parking lot is full there will be additional street parking available for free. \nWhat to Bring\nValid driver’s license or state or federal ID (needed to obtain a visitor pass).\nDress is business casual or what you would normally wear to work. \nYour Reading Session\nArrive at your selected school and shift time. Please be punctual\, as our lessons are timed. If you will be late or unable to make it\, please contact Sarah Lowery at sarah.lowery@austin.utexas.edu. A Literacy First staff member will greet you in the front office to assist you in signing in and will escort you to the tutoring area. School officials will need to see your ID before issuing you a visitor pass. Each campus has 2-4 tutors. Each tutor will share a bit about their background\, discuss why they chose to serve with Literacy First and give you a chance to introduce yourself. Guests and tutors will then pair up. Tutors will get their students from the classrooms while you wait with Literacy First staff in the tutoring area. Tutors will introduce their student and guest\, and then the tutor will conduct part of a regular lesson while you observe. Guests will then read aloud a book provided by the tutor\, either in Spanish or English. \nIf we have permission\, a Literacy First staff member will then take a photo of you with the tutor and student at the end of the reading session. \nTutors will walk children back to class\, while Literacy First staff escort you out of the school. \nNever read to a student before? No problem. Watch our video to learn a few tips and tricks. \nCAN’T MAKE IT TO DR. SEUSS DAY?\nIf you can’t make it to our Dr. Seuss Reading Day\, don’t worry. You can still help us fight illiteracy by donating to Literacy First during Amplify Austin on February 28-March 1\, 2019! Learn more and give here! \nDonate Now
