(get up and shout)“Children who learn to read at home love school immediately. Their self worth grows... and so do their social skills. They are better prepared to be successful in life. As teenagers, they are better equipped to avoid drugs, dropping out... and the rate of teen suicides is lower among kids who are literate from an early age. Here's a shocking fact: When the State of Arizona projects how many prison beds it will need, it factors in the number of kids who can read well in the fourth grade.” (The Literacy Company)

Many parents, just like joeys, were never made aware of the benefits of reading at home
(move it make it)Many parents, believe it is solely the schools responsibility but, as you can see it takes a collaboration between school and home to instill the importance of literacy and education.
