Promoting Literacy

Reading and Culture to Transform Literacy in Brazil’s Public Schools

Overview

The Culturando a Alfabetização project strengthens literacy in public schools by integrating reading, culture, and teacher training, expanding children’s access to high-quality supplementary reading materials, and supporting school districts in consolidating public literacy policies.

How it works

It goes beyond simply donating books. It operates in a structured manner, with a focus on real and measurable impact:

  • Ongoing technical support: in-person, hands-on assistance to support educational decisions.
  • Training for teachers and administrators
  • Engagement of families and school communities
