We believe that reading fluency starts with books in the home. Research has shown that the number one indicator of academic success for children is the number of books in their homes. |
|
The Literacy Empowerment Foundations programs offer children, parents, and teachers low and no-cost books to help solve the problem of book ownership in the home and address reading fluency at the earliest levels. |
