Literacy Matters. Fact. Every year, 35% of American children start school without the language skills necessary to learn to read.
Fact: Older students who struggle with reading are more likely to drop out of school.
There are a lot of charities that focus on children’s literacy. We chose Reach Out & Read of Greater New York as our first, but hope to increase awareness of all of them. Visit our links section to find out about some others.
