Exposing children to reading has a direct effect on their future achievements. The National Commission of Reading has found that the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children.
Adult literacy has a direct relationship on that of children.
As the education level of adults increases, so does their children's success in school. Helping low-literate adults improve their basic skills has a direct and measurable impact on both the education and quality of life of their children. Children of adults who participate in literacy programs improve their grades and test scores, improve their reading skills, and are less likely to drop out of school. Stories are discussed and books are given as a gift for those in attendance so that they can increase their awareness and literacy aptitude. This site contains links to other internet sites.
