Book Collections to Take Home

Dr. Joyce Epstein, Dr. Timothy Shanahan, and numerous other scholars have conducted research studies over a 40 year period which clearly demonstrate that the number one indicator of academic achievement among students is parent involvement.

Parent involvement through a take-home reading program has been shown to be the best way for parents to help their young children become better readers.

The Literacy Empowerment Foundation will be devoting millions of dollars over the next few years to help the next generation of readers have the best literacy foundation possible! Our super cost-effective take-home reading collections along with free reading support downloadable materials will be a great help to you, parents, and your students. .
