Take the Fork in the Road…..(Guest Post from Alva Sachs- President of Reading Is Fundamental of Southern California)

Imagine children without a single book to call their own.
Imagine no one reading to a child.
Imagine parents unable to read to a child
Reality is today childhood literacy is in crisis.
Reality is that three out of four, fourth graders, fail to read at grade level.
Reality by reinforcing a child’s sense of self-worth, confidence, and exposing them to stories about children who look like them, share similar families, encourages them to develop the love of reading.
