Giving to BookSpring is one of the most effective ways to help close the early literacy gap.

In 2009-2010, BookSpring provided new books and literacy programs to more than 37,700 children and their families through 24 medical clinics, 12 infant/pre-school programs, 29 elementary schools, 5 high schools and in the home based parenting programs of our non-profit partners.

• $25 helps a toddler in a childcare center discover the magic of books.
• $50 encourages a teen parent to play an active role in the development of
  her child’s early literacy skills.
• $100 provides 40 new books to children living in poverty.
• $250 improves the literacy habits of parents with limited literacy skills so they can share books with their children.
• $500 prepares and motivates 35 elementary-age children to read by giving free books and literacy resources to those children and their families.
