Today, EVERYBODY WINS! affiliates are helping bridge the literacy gap for more than 9,200 public school students across the country. Our goal is to reach 100,000. We hope you share in our vision.
The EVERYBODY WINS! equation is simple – one mentor, one child, one book at a time – but has a profound impact.
In the U.S. today, a stark disparity exists between the reading abilities of low-income and higher-income children. Without intervention, the literacy gap only widens with time.
Research proves that reading aloud with children is the single most important activity for helping them become successful readers. By reading aloud with low-income students, we can help bridge the literacy gap.
