To do this, we need to get books in the hands of children, both at home and in school. We also need to teach children to respect books. Children who don t value books are likely to lose or damage them. With the Student Operated Bookstore TM , you can offer inexpensive, good-quality books for children to own and take home. But too many families don t have books in their homes.
Some parents don t have the money to buy high-priced volumes in bookstores.
Our non-profit organization, the Literacy Empowerment Foundation, will sell books in sets of 100 to your school. Children get to make their own selections from among these high-quality books. Furthermore, since they spend their own money for their books, they learn that books have value. Children who buy books with their own allowance are less likely to lose or destroy those books. And the process of browsing, selecting and buying generates excitement about books.
