1st Annual Backpacks & Books A Million Word Gap
“Young children whose parents read them five books a day enter kindergarten having heard about 1.4 million more words than kids who were never read to.” Highlighting this gap, research ranks Texas 48th in reading comprehension among 4th graders.
Educational Outcomes is partnering with local schools and non-profit organizations to help at-risk students better prepare for the future through reading. Your contribution to Educational Outcomes will inspire a love of books, learning, and the arts in the youngest students in our under-served communities. Donate today to help us give the wonderful gift of reading to local children this year.
