Wood St. Collective is amidst expanding our literacy programs. To promote a love of reading and build academic preparation at the 3rd and 6th grade levels, we aim to fill 5,000 backpacks with age-appropriate reading materials begore the end of 2025. In June 2025, we are hosting the First Annual Summer Englewood Book Fest that includes a book vendor market of children’s books authors, Chicago-based authors, and independent bookstores; and a programming stage will offer a robust schedule of panel author discussions, poetry readings, and children’s programming. SEBF is more than just a one-day event. Leading up to the Book Fest, we will invite Chicago-based children’s book authors to visit 3rd and 6th grade classrooms in Englewood elementaries for an engaging workshop designed to encourage reading and, in the 6th grade classes, support students in writing a fiction story.
