About Magic of Literacy
The Magic of Literacy Reading Program is a summer initiative dedicated to sparking a love of reading in children across our community. Through engaging activities, creative projects, and guided reading sessions, we help young readers build confidence and discover the magic within every book.
As a program of Brotherhood Against Drugs, we believe that literacy is the foundation for a bright future. Every child who participates gains not just reading skills, but a sense of accomplishment and a lifelong love of learning.
