Super Readers Book Drive

We're kicking off National Literacy Month this September. WUCF and VyStar Credit Union are teaming up for a Super Why! Super Readers Book Drive. From September 1st - 30th, 2023, donate your new or gently used children's books to benefit Head Start locations throughout Central Florida.

Reading is a great way to engage kids in their learning and help them see how school, community, and the world beyond are connected. It's a lifelong skill that can open up a world of possibilities. Students who reach grade-level proficiency in reading by grade 3 are four times more likely to graduate and succeed in their careers. The books collected will help spread the joy of reading to our youngest learners, unlocking the power of literacy and making a difference in our community. We welcome fiction, non-fiction, and foreign language books. Any books donated should be at a reading level suitable for preschool through first grade. We ask that there be no religious or adult/violent material donated.

In honor of the drive, WUCF and VyStar will be celebrating with Super Why!, the first preschool series designed to help children learn to read through interactive story adventures. Each 22-minute episode features a team of fairytale superheroes who soar into classic storybooks and use their unique reading-based powers to find answers to everyday preschool problems. The show encompasses what WUCF and VyStar hope to achieve through the book drive - curious readers across Central Florida.
