We work with public schools all over the country, providing resources to motivate students to make reading a part of their daily lives.

SAS Reading Program
To deepen the love and habit of reading in Filipino children, SAS runs a 31-day Reading Program for all Grade 4 students in partner public schools. We donate 60 of the best Filipino children's storybooks to every Grade 4 classroom included in the program.
