Families matter, especially when it comes to literacy.

Book Trust joins the National Center for @familieslearning—alongside libraries, schools, and educational programs—to celebrate National Family Literacy Month throughout November.

Happy Halloween! May your reading candles burn long and bright tonight!🕯️🎃

Halloween is spooky…but you know what’s even scarier? 👻

- 61% of low-income families have no books at all in their homes for their children.

- 1 in 6 children who are not reading proficiently in third grade do not graduate from high school on time.

- In low-income neighborhoods, the ratio is just 1 age-appropriate book for every 300 children. In middle-income neighborhoods, that number is 13 books per child.

Scary, right?

But we’re working hard to fix it by providing students with books of their choice to build their own libraries and discover the joy of reading!

Every child deserves the magic of a good book. ✨

“Once we had flashlight reading time in honor of receiving our book box on a Friday. The kids loved reading books with mini-flashlights while lying on the floor under their desks with the lights out.”
