Program Information

A majority of Dillard’s students are entering kindergarten lacking reading readiness skills. Very few parents read to their children and they rarely visit the library. Dillard Elementary is providing multiple strategies to close the literacy gap.

Ranger Good Works collects and purchases more than 800 books every year to support the Literacy Program. Because of this effort, parent participation rates in our literacy program have grown from 8% (2011-2012) to more than 78% (2014-2015).

Ranger Good Works hosts a literacy night annually every October. In 2013 there were fewer than 25 parents-caregivers in attendance. In 2015 there were more than 800 attendees.

The literacy night is a school and family initiative for all students from prekindergarten through fifth grade. This literacy initiative is specially designed to foster literacy independence in young children, and to bridge the literacy deficit gap from school to home by giving each child their first book to begin a personalized home library.

If you have used books to share with the students please contact us or purchase books through Amazonsmile.com supporting Ranger Good Works.
