Our school is located in an economically disadvantaged area where all of the families we serve are low-income and majority are single parent families that work full time. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, nearly two-thirds of low-income American families do not own any books for their children. Access to books at school leads to exposure to reading, and if more reading leads to better writing, spelling, grammar, and a larger vocabulary, this means that the first step is to make sure children have access to plenty of books.
