Unfortunately, too many children don't have access to resources that enrich learning and encourage reading. A recent study shows that there is only one age-appropriate book available for every 300 children living in underserved communities in the United States. That’s less than 1% of the number books available to children in middle-income neighborhoods.
- Visit SoarwithReading.com to access free summer reading materials, including an interactive reading list, reading tips and expert advice.
- Up to $200,000 worth of books will be donated through this program.
- As a special thank you, all adults who share their favorite book title on the site can also be entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win a JetBlue Getaways vacation package.
- Separately, kids traveling with JetBlue this summer can also receive a free activity booklet with literacy-based PBS KIDS games.
Join them in their mission to open new worlds for kids, through the joy of reading! Just share the name of your favorite children’s book, and for every submission, JetBlue will donate an age-appropriate book to a child in need through their partner, Barefoot Books.
