      Research shows that learning a second language boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask.

    • Parental Involvement

      Children often say the most special time they recall spending with a parent or guardian is the time spent reading together, especially when there is energy and excitement.

    • Higher Self-Esteem

      Children who read frequently develop not only stronger reading skills, but a higher self-esteem contributing more in class and are more likely to lead healthier lifestyles.

    • Academic Achievement

      Learning a language has a direct impact on a child’s academic achievement with improved reading, writing, and math skills, and generally score higher on standardized tests.

      Through your purchases, GAC helps provide much needed books to children in low-income communities, where early childhood literacy rates are at a disadvantage. We recognized early on that this gap existed with childhood literacy between low-income communities and with middle-income communities across the nation.

  • There is only 1 book for every 300 children in low-income neighborhoods versus 13 books per child in middle-income neighborhoods.

    Illiteracy is passed along by parents who cannot read or write.

    One child in four grows up not knowing how to read.

    90% of welfare recipients are high school dropouts.

    Low literary costs $73 million per year in terms of direct health care costs. A recent study by Pfizer put the cost much higher.

    • The average child in a low-income family has only been exposed to 25 hours of one-on-one reading versus children from middle-income homes being exposed to 1,000 to 1,700 hours of one-on-one reading.

    • 61% of low-income families have no age-appropriate books in their homes.

    • Fewer than half (48%) of young children in the U.S. are read to daily. The percentage of children read to daily drops even lower (to 36%) among low-income families, whose children face the highest risk of literacy problems.

    • The average child growing up in a middle class family has been exposed to 1,000 to 1,700 hours of one-on-one picture book reading. The average child growing up in a low-income family has only been exposed to 25 hours of one-on-one reading.

    • 85 percent of all juveniles who interface with the juvenile court system are functionally illiterate.

    • Penal institution records show that inmates have a 16% chance of returning to prison if they receive literacy help, as opposed to 70% who receive no help. This equates to taxpayer costs of $25,000 per year per inmate and nearly double that amount for juvenile offenders.
