Promoting Literacy Through Collaboration

Reading Partners Tulsa has partnered with three local independent bookstores, Magic City Books, Fulton Street Books & Coffee, and Whitty Books, to support the initiative. These bookstores are collecting book donations that will be given to the nonprofit’s reading centers, providing resources for the upcoming school year.

Avoiding the Summer Slide

Olivia Martin, the executive director of Reading Partners, highlights the educational losses that students often experience during the summer break. The Booked Up for Summer campaign aims to combat this by ensuring that every student who participated in Reading Partners’ program during the school year receives a reading parents backpack. These backpacks contain literacy resources and books, enabling students to continue reading and learning throughout the summer.

Culminating in a Community Event

The Booked Up for Summer campaign concludes with Mayfest, a community event held at Guthrie Green in Tulsa. Mayfest features live music, read-aloud sessions, and various activities that celebrate the joy of reading. It serves as a platform to raise awareness about literacy and engage the community in supporting Reading Partners Tulsa’s mission.

A Partnership for Academic Success

Reading Partners Tulsa’s mission is to build a partnership with teachers, parents, and community volunteers to provide students with the support they need to succeed academically. Volunteer tutors work closely with students, using research-based and structured lesson plans tailored to their individual needs. The organization primarily serves Kindergarten through fourth-grade students across 23 schools in the Tulsa and Union Public Schools districts.

By combining the efforts of dedicated volunteers, local bookstores, and community events like Mayfest, Reading Partners Tulsa is making a significant impact on literacy in the region. The Booked Up for Summer initiative not only provides students with access to books but also fosters a love for reading and prevents the loss of educational progress during the summer break. With their collaborative approach and commitment to academic success, Reading Partners Tulsa continues to make a difference in the lives of young learners.
