Shop 4% Friday on February 25th to Support Page Ahead

Guided by the fact that literacy is essential to lifelong success, Page Ahead provides new books and develops reading activities that empower at-risk children.

Page Ahead is the leading provider of children’s books and literacy services in Washington State, partnering with elementary schools, early learning centers, and other agencies across Washington to create home libraries for children furthest from educational justice and to support educators with current literacy research and teaching strategies. Since its founding in 1990, Page Ahead has given away more than 3.5 million books.

How Will Your Shopping Trip Support Page Ahead?

Funds from 4% Friday will support Page Ahead’s Book Up Summer, in which K-2 students at majority low-income schools receive 12 brand-new books of their choosing at the end of the school year for three years in a row for summer reading, minimizing or eliminating the “summer learning slide”. 

Book Up Summer costs $45 per child, so $2,00 will cover 62 brand-new home libraries, or three kindergarten classrooms worth of kids!
