The post-COVID learning loss is real. According to Future-Ed.org, "There’s been a stubborn 50 percent increase in the number of third and fourth graders who are two or more grade levels behind in reading. For example, 19 percent of third graders were that far behind grade level in 2023, up from 12 percent in 2019". (Barshay, 2023)
"California fourth graders trail the nation in reading, and half of its third graders, including two-thirds of Black students and 61% of Latino students, do not read at grade level." (Fensterwald, 2022)
"Having books in the home is proven to positively benefit children in a myriad of ways. A two-decade long study found that the mere presence of a home library increases children’s academic success, vocabulary development, attention and job attainment." (JCFS.org). By donating to the Inland Empire Children's Book Project you are helping to give children the skills they need to learn and be successful.
