Collaborations
HEB Read 3Help shape a child's mind by reading to them three times a week. When you read to a child they develop the reading skills they need to succeed in school. Sadly, not all children have books in their homes. That's why in 2011 H-E-B launched Read 3.
In the past three years, H-E-B has donated nearly 3 million books to children in need. Help us collect another million during our book drive September 17 to September 30. Stop by your H-E-B and donate new or gently used children's books at donations bins throughout the store. We'll also have book reading events and special offers.

The goal of the Texas Literacy Initiative (TLI) is to ensure that every Texas child is strategically prepared for college and career literacy demands by high school graduation. The TLI integrates and aligns early language and preliteracy skills for children from infancy to school entry. For students in grades K–12, the TLI emphasizes reading and writing instruction.
A local collaborative of secondary schools, elementary schools, and the feeder preschools and programs that serve a community’s children is called a “Literacy Line.” Integrating and aligning language development and literacy instruction across the infancy through grade 12 continuum requires communication and collaboration. Discussions among educators within a Literacy Line should focus on instruction that has been shown to work. This page provides information and state-endorsed resources for building a solid foundation of research-based instructional practices, systems, and guidelines. Join the TLI mailing list and receive updates as more information becomes available. Go to website |
