Educação pode mudar sua vida

First Book is a national nonprofit organization with a single mission: to give children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. First Book has provided nearly 30 million new books to children in need in hundreds of communities nationwide.

First  Book  Provides  a  Critical  Resource  to Children  in Need. Access to books is essential to reading development. Sixty-one percent of low-income families, however, have no books for children in their homes. Over 80 percent of childcare centers serving low-income children lack age-appropriate books and other print materials. By providing children from lowincome families with books that they can  take  home and  keep,  First  Book  targets  the  only variable that correlates significantly with reading scores: the number of books in the home.
