Reach Out and Read reports that: 35% of American children entering kindergarten today lack the basic language skills they will need to learn to read.
Children who live in print-rich environments and who are read to during the first years of life are much more likely to learn to read on schedule.
Fewer than half of parents (48%) in the United States read to their young children daily.
Parents of children living in poverty may lack the money to buy books, may not have easy access to good children’s books, and may not themselves have been read to as children, with the result that millions of children are growing up without books.
