Read with children this summer to boost their school success! #SummerReading can close literacy gaps between children of different income households. This is a big game changer for young children, who need to quickly build foundational skills to read by third grade.

It's true! Children are more enthusiastic when class content reflects their environment and prior knowledge. See how #JumpstartAlum Teddy's team boosted engagement! Give today to support powerful learning moments like these. https://t.co/olAueotVit #BrightMindsBoldFutures
