  • Staying Connected Through Challenging Times
    Ladies for Literacy Guild Newsletter - Summer 2020 Staying Connected Through Challenging Times Dear Ladies Guild Members and Friends, I have been thinking a lot about the word “connection” as it relates to these unusual times and, like many of you, missing the connection of familiar routines. My late father was a Special Forces Green Beret who served three tours of duty in Vietnam. A POW, he came back from his last service a very different man than the one that left Fort Bragg on his first tour. Many years later when I was a teenager, my dad was able to share his experiences with me and what he clung to during those dark, dark days. It was, in short, connections to us that, despite the span of continents, kept us close. Along with sending Polaroids and long letters, my mother recorded me reading my favorite childhood books to share with my dad. Decades later, he told me that hearing the voices of his three girls gave him the strength and hope he needed more than any other time in his life. As we hope and pray for a brighter tomorrow, I am reminded that we have had tough days – yet we have survived them all. With resilience, grit, determination and creative focus, we have and will continue to look for a tomorrow where we can all feel safe to gather again, volunteer in our beloved schools and work in the community to advance the cause of literacy. Until that time, I remain inspired by the optimism and creativity by our Guild members.

  • Discover What Neil Bush Is Reading
    Summer Issue 2015 School may be out for the summer, but this is a critical time for learning, particularly for children of low-income families and for children who are learning English. In Houston, more than 80 percent of children are considered economically disadvantaged, and approximately one-third are English Language Learners, placing them at-risk for experiencing summer learning loss, oftentimes referred to as the “summer slide.” In essence, research shows that these children lose ground in achievement, while their more affluent peers are actually gaining ground during the summer months. When this happens year after year, without proper interventions or support, the achievement gap widens. In fact, by the 9th grade, children can be as far as two years behind their more affluent peers because of the compounding impact of the summer slide. Several organizations across Houston are providing summer learning programs to help mitigate the summer slide, and they need your help. You can help by volunteering at connect4literacy.org and giving of your time and talent or by donating new or gently used books. Books are an essential tool for learning during the summer months, yet far too many children across Houston do not have access to books in their home – they are a luxury they simply cannot afford. By simply reading at least four books during the summer, the summer slide can be combatted. So, clean out your bookshelves or hold a book drive in your neighborhood, among your Book Club members, or at your church. The Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation will provide a good home for those books through one of our many partner organizations.
