One Book at a Time
To empower children and parents through literacy initiatives and advocacy.
Vision:
A community where every child has access to a high quality education, books, and is read to every day.
Recognizing the need to address Central Virginia's literacy crisis, a dedicated group of teachers, administrators, local politicians, and business leaders founded Love of Learning. This initiative provides low-income children with access to books, read-alouds, one-on-one tutoring, and advocacy to help foster a love for learning and support academic success.
We’re a collaborative team of local educators, business leaders, and community members dedicated to improving the reading skills and educational experiences of vulnerable children in Central Virginia.
Your contributions help improve the lives of children living in low-income homes in Central Virginia. Love of Learning is a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charity.
Did you know the most successful way to improve the reading achievement of children living in low-income homes is to increase their access to books?
Did you know that reading aloud
to children is the single most important activity for eventual success in school?
Because 61% of low-income families have no age-appropriate books in their homes, creating a steady stream of new, age-appropriate books has been shown to nearly triple interest in reading within months.
Kids growing up in homes with at least 20 books get 3 years more schooling than children from homes without books. Combine those books with frequent read-alouds and lives transform!
