Organization’s Mission:

The Little Bit Foundation is committed to helping disadvantaged school children by creating a positive impact for personal growth, increasing self-esteem and encouraging a more focused and active learning environment.

Responsibilities and Duties:

The 1-2-3 Read! Program runs as a book fair for the entire school. Through the 1-2-3 Read! program, each student in the school receives two appropriately leveled books of their selection to keep each semester.

This program is designed to increase each student’s in-home library with books suited for their personal reading level.

The Little Bit Foundation and its volunteers will set up three tables of books, each leveled either beginner, intermediate or advanced in the school library. Little Bit volunteers will greet the students, read to students in the Reading Corner, and guide the students in making appropriately leveled selections of books matching their own reading abilities and interests.
