GOAL: $5,000.00

$5,000 = 500 books received by students in need

SCV Education Foundation is looking to raise $5,000 to order to provide more junior high students help to start or build their own personal libraries and to cultivate their literacy skills. The foundation will partner with junior high schools whose student population has been identified as socioeconomically disadvantaged. This population has been selected because research shows that children from low-socioeconomic families are less likely to have experiences that encourage the development of fundamental skills of reading acquisition and that children’s initial reading competency is correlated with the home literacy environment. Children from low-socioeconomic status families enter high school with average literacy skills five years behind those of high-income students. The foundation is looking to continue the Page Turner program into Title 1 schools where approximately 31% of junior high students are falling behind the targeted reading level. Helping students to start their own library with age-appropriate books encourages a literacy environment at home and motivates them to read and improve their literacy skills.

$10 = a book in 1 student’s personal library
