SMART Reading

SMART Reading is a children’s literacy nonprofit providing two critical ingredients for literacy success: shared reading and access to books. They give away over 175, books for students to keep and read with their families every year. They have a Classroom Read-Aloud model that pairs a volunteer with a classroom for shared reading sessions. They also have a Virtual SMART program which is a personalized reading experience that connects one student with two volunteers for weekly reading sessions on Zoom or Google Meet.
SMART Reading is a cost-effective model, focused on kids and powered by volunteers. You can donate to support their cause and help them provide more books and reading sessions to kids in Oregon.
