Children and adults will read together at events nationwide on October 2, in schools, libraries, stores, hotels, playgrounds, offices, and homes. Why is Jumpstart doing this?
Can you imagine your childhood without your favorite stories? Neither can we. But the fact is that most children in low income communities have few, if any, age appropriate books in their homes. The number of books in a home is the single strongest indicator of a child’s future reading ability setting him or her on a track for success in school and in life. Buy a book and open the world of reading for a child. Your purchase puts books directly into the hands of children who need them most. Plus, 100% of the proceeds support Jumpstart’s proven program, which provides caring adult mentors who work one-to-one with children for a full year to help prepare them to enter school ready to succeed.
