The Barbara Bush Texas Fund for Family Literacy

The 2005 recipients of Barbara Bush Texas Fund grants.

Reach Out & Read - Texas - University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Reach Out and Read (ROR) - Texas, established in 1999 as part of First Lady Laura Bush’s Early Childhood Initiative for Texas, will increase the number of children served by adding 20 new clinic sites each year. Doctors and health practitioners in ROR clinics provide children’s books to primary caregivers at every well baby visit for children at ages 6 months to 5 years.

La Casa de los Ninos - Barbara Bush Community Family Centers

La Casa de los Ninos-Barbara Bush will be a new facility of the Centers, and will house the Family Literacy Program, including early childhood and adult education instruction. The goal is to address the demand for quality childcare, adult literacy and English language instruction in the Hispanic East End of Houston.
