Book Donations and Book Drives for the Literacy Coalition

Many of the children and students served by our literacy programs may not have appropriate books to read in their homes. The Coalition’s goal is to provide them with quality children’s books for practice reading at home to help improve their literacy skills and develop a love of reading, books and learning.

You can help by organizing a book drive or donating new and used books in excellent condition for preschool-age children and elementary-grade-level students served by the Literacy Coalition’s programs.

Helpful information for donating new and used books in excellent condition for preschool-age children and elementary grade-level students served by the Literacy Coalition’s programs.

For preschool-age children, board and picture books are excellent choices.

Examples of board and picture book titles for preschool-age children:

  • Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
  • Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
  • Goodnight Gorilla
  • Llama Llama Red Pajama
  • Pete the Cat
  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar

For elementary school-age children leveled books often provide the best texts for teaching reading, as the vocabulary and sentence complexity is consistent throughout the book. 

Examples of leveled reader book series for elementary grade level students:

  • All Aboard Reading
  • DK Readers
  • I Can Read
  • I’m Going to Read
  • National Geographic Kids
  • Puffin Easy to Read
  • Ready to Read
  • Step Into Reading
  • Scholastic Reader
