Giving the Gift of Literacy Campaign
November 2020

KIDS NEED BOOKS AND HERE'S WHY:

  • In 2019, 46% of students in Palm Beach County were reading below grade level as measured by their Florida Standards Assessment (FSA)

Access to books is one of the greatest contributors to educational equality.  Books have been shown to have a positive relationship with a child's interest in reading, academic and writing performance, and language development.

 

We know that fostering a love of learning and having access to books is key to improving literacy in Palm Beach County.  

 

Join us and make a difference in our community, one student...one book at a time!
