Reading Recycled

A study of low-income neighborhoods in Philadelphia found a ratio of one book for sale for every 300 children. We provide free new and gently used books for children of all ages. Learn more and consider a donation, http://ow.ly/DEn650Fjemk #booksforkids #literacy #raisingreaders

Looking for something fun to do this summer? Why not start a family book club? Everyone read the same book and discuss, http://ow.ly/HK7o50FjekT #literacy #familyreads #booksforkids

We need HELP processing all of the fantastic donations we have received! The books don't do us any good in the Book Bank; we have to get them into the hands of the kids who need them!

If your child is 8-years-old, you might notice a slight slump in their reading. Here’s why this isn’t uncommon, http://ow.ly/Tqx050FiTax #literacy #booksforkids #raisingreaders

Reading Recycled and the Philly Book Bank could not operate without donations. We want to give a shout-out to some of our very generous donors to thank them for their support! Today we are thanking all of the fantastic families at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy.

Children who live in poverty are only exposed to 13 million words before age 4. Compare that to the 45 million words that children in the middle class hear. Help close this gap by giving children the love of books, https://readingrecycled.org/ #literacy #readingmatters #booksforkids

Children can help other children learn to find a love of reading. Reading for pleasure, outside of school, can often be the key, http://ow.ly/nBqv50CyS48 #readingmatters #literacy
