Helping Kids Read

  Did you know the most successful way to improve the reading achievement of low-income children 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!
