One of our goals at the Adventures Ahead tutoring program is help kids develop a life-long love of reading. Not just an ability to decode and comprehend, but a LOVE for reading itself. All kids are challenged by the mechanics of reading, skills that must be practiced and learned over time. But for our students, many of whom are learning English as a second language, these challenges often overshadow the fun and joy that a good story offers. This Christmas we want to help our kids' families to enjoy books together!
On December 19th our tutoring center will open for one day as a "Christmas Bookstore" where Adventures Ahead parents can purchase fun, engaging books to read with their kids. We will be selling donated new books at a very steep discount for parents to give their kids as gifts. We hope to collect at least 75 books at a variety of reading levels, including many titles in Spanish.
Would you like to participate? You can donate a book by having it shipped to the address below, or sending an Amazon gift card via email. We have published a wishlist that you can view online for ideas.
Please pray that God will provide a great selection of books, that our booksale will be a festive event, and that our kids will indeed grow to love reading.
If you would like to donate a book, please have it shipped to:
Adventures Ahead Christmas Bookstore
2706 Brighton Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90018
Or you can email a giftcard from Amazon.com and let us know what book you'd like us to order. Just make sure it gets to us by Tuesday, December 15th.
