Book Trust aims to increase book choice and ownership, inspire a love of reading, and promote a culture of literacy in communities.
Research shows that 75% of children who are not proficient readers by the end of third grade are four times less likely to graduate high school.
Recent studies have shown that COVID has had a greater impact on low-income students’ education than on that of their higher income peers, further widening the achievement gap.
However, books alone are not enough. Studies confirm a longstanding belief guiding Book Trust’s program: ownership and choice matter – and are more motivating to students than access alone. Book Trust is laser-focused on combating this impact on young children’s early reading development, now more than ever.
Inspiring the joy and power of reading!
