What is Books that Build?

Books that Build is an organization that supports children’s literacy.

Through an annual fundraising event, Books that Build teams with a charity of choice, along with friends and family and everyone they know, to throw a fantastic party raising money for children’s literacy.

The 2007 beneficiary was Reach Out & Read of Greater New York, a 501(c) 3 not-for-profit, which puts books in the hands of children and their parents during regular medical checkups.

Literacy Matters.
Fact. Every year, 35% of American children start school without the language skills necessary to learn to read.

Fact:  Older students who struggle with reading are more likely to drop out of school.
 
There are a lot of charities that focus on children’s literacy.  We chose Reach Out & Read of Greater New York as our first, but hope to increase awareness of all of them.  Visit our links section to find out about some others.
