For the seventh season in a row, the Dodgers and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation are hosting “LA Reads,” which is a joint literacy program designed to motivate youth to build a lifelong love of reading with engaging programs and educational resources throughout the year.
Here’s more on what LA Reads is all about.
The LA Reads program consists of Storytimes and book giveaways with Dodger players, coaches, broadcasters, and alumni, the Dodgers Reading Champions challenge, which incentivizes youth participants ages 5 through 14 to read 30 minutes or more per day, partnerships with libraries and literacy nonprofits, and Literacy Corners which are renovated and refurbished after-school centers and libraries with new furniture, paint, flooring, and stocked age-appropriate bookshelves.
