Give the gift of readingAt one of our Bookshelf projects, Pablo said with wide open eyes, “Para mi?!” (“For me?!”) . He said it with regard to his very own bookshelf and the favorite books he picked out, and he said it as if he couldn’t believe it was really his-- as if he didn’t know what he had done to deserve it, but that he was elated to receive it nonetheless.
At each school we hear the same vision-- helping a child LEARN TO READ in their kindergarten through third grade years empowers them to READ TO LEARN for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, they fall behind and can't catch up. As a listening partner to educators, we have designed our Bookshelf in Every Home project that brings low income Kindergarten families to their child’s school to decorate the child's very own Bookshelf together and to “shop” for free books. Further, while the children play games with community volunteers and enjoy their new books, their parents participate in a Parent Equipping Workshop underscoring their important role of supporting literacy at home.
