ABOUT

reading statistics

Providing kids with a stream of age-appropriate books can triple interest in childhood reading (Harris, L., 2003)

Only 35% of public school students read at or above the Proficient level, in Texas the average drops to only 25% (U.S. Department of Education, 2017)

Kids who regularly read have better language skills, larger vocabulary and high cognitive skills than non-readers (Child Development, 2006)

47% of fourth-graders from low-income families read below the basic level (Rif.org)
