In Tarrant County, only 36% of third-grade students read proficiently*. This reflects a more than 7% drop since the onset of COVID-19—a staggering statistic that has effects far beyond test scores. Research also shows that young children who have access to books in their homes are much more likely to read at grade level. Unfortunately, that access is limited for thousands of families in our community. *Read Fort Worth
