Closing the achievement gap requires resources and time outside of school hours. Home libraries are a powerful tool for student success, especially when families and community members are empowered to become literacy champions. Creating a literacy-rich home environment with a well-curated library is a cost-effective way for districts, schools, and teachers to set all children on the path to success.

In this edWeb podcast, we:

  • Present the research that demonstrates the positive impact of home libraries on student achievement.
  • Hear from three school districts that leveraged home libraries to boost learning outcomes.
  • Share effective strategies for how to keep students and families engaged in reading outside the classroom.
  • Explore how community partnerships can enhance literacy efforts.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, and family engagement staff.
