Houston Reads Day 2025 had over 425 volunteers together to read to nearly 17,000 kids across 39 elementary schools. Literacy Now’s Reading Intervention Program helps struggling readers catch up, and Houston Reads Day is a powerful way to bring attention to the issue while giving kids a positive experience with books.

The 5th annual Houston Reads Day is approaching on February 28th. It's a single day for Houstonians to come together to read to students, support Literacy Now's Reading Intervention program, and bring awareness to the literacy crisis in Houston. The day will include over 400 volunteers, 39 Houston area schools participating, 685 classrooms, and 15,000+ Pre-K-5th grade students.

September is National Literacy Month and Literacy Now, the only non-profit in Houston providing high-quality, individualized early reading intervention that works directly with children in at-risk situations.
