The reading crisis is threatening the future, but there is a solution
When children read regularly, they grow up to be better educated adults with higher earning potential and stronger emotional intelligence. The future is bright when we get children reading.
Education
When a child reads, they start school ready to learn and are more likely to succeed in school.
Earning Potential
When a child reads and develops digital literacy skills, they become employable adults, vital to the economy.
Emotional Intelligence
When a child reads, they develop essential cognitive and social skills like empathy, which supports positive social change.
