Support the Joy of Reading
Join us in transforming lives—one book, one child, one community at a time.
Why Literacy? Why Now?
Across the world, too many children face barriers to accessing quality reading materials. At 311Literacy, we believe reading is a right—not a privilege. Through The Great Reading Tournament, we make bilingual literacy fun, inclusive, and global. But we can’t do it alone.
Your support can give children full access to an award-winning digital platform and eight weeks of engaging, bilingual learning opportunities.
“For my students, reading stopped being a routine and became an exciting adventure.”
— Teacher Ysabel P. - Lima, Peru
The Great Reading Tournament
The Great Reading Tournament is a global, bilingual initiative that makes reading fun, engaging, and community-driven for children ages 6 to 14—no matter where they live. Held three times a year, each tournament runs for five weeks and invites kids to join a worldwide reading challenge.
Participants earn points for every minute they read using LightSail, a digital platform with over 10,000 books in English and Spanish. With personalized progress tracking, interactive features, and age-appropriate content, readers stay motivated and immersed in the joy of reading.
More than a challenge, the tournament builds reading skills, biliteracy, and confidence. It nurtures consistency, sparks curiosity, and helps children develop a lifelong love of reading—while connecting them to a global community of fellow young readers.

About 311Literacy
311Literacy is a nonprofit organization incorporated in the United States, dedicated to promoting bilingual literacy through innovative, accessible programming. Our mission is to make reading a daily joy—and a lifelong habit—for every child, regardless of income or location.
We believe literacy is foundational to equity, opportunity, and civic participation. That’s why we design engaging reading experiences that meet children where they are—at home, at school, or in their community.
The nonprofit is part of the broader 311Literacy ecosystem, which also includes 311Literacy LLC, a social impact company focused on educational product development and innovation. While the LLC develops scalable tools and programs, the nonprofit arm ensures those resources reach the students who need them most—through donor-funded access, public partnerships, and community outreach.
All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and go directly toward supporting reading tournaments, student access, and program development.
