Book it Forward! Idaho, a joint initiative of Idaho Voices for Children and The Cabin, is dedicated to increasing access to books for children. We collect new and gently-used books and get them to kids who have little to no access to books at home.
Kids are learning to read up through third grade, and after that, they are reading to learn. Reading proficiently by the end of third grade is the single most important factor for success in school and in life. Having too few books for kids in low-income homes is a barrier to developing their reading proficiency.
