The Literacy Challenge
The best predictor of a child's literacy level is the literacy level of his/her parents. In other words, if you want a child to learn, teach the parent.

Your gift means a child will grow up with a parent who can read to her. It gives a father the skills he needs to pull his family out of poverty. It helps a new immigrant become an American citizen.
