At Start Reading Now, we believe every child deserves the chance to unlock their potential through the power of reading. By providing free books to students in need, we aim to foster a love of reading and close the literacy gap that limits future opportunities for so many. Reading isn’t just about enjoying stories—it’s a gateway to better education, healthier lives, and stronger communities. In this blog, we’ll explore how reading and literacy play vital roles in shaping graduation rates, life expectancy, and public health outcomes.
