The State of Black Boys' Literacy Rate According to Tyrone Howard, director of UCLA's Black Male Institute, the state of Black boys' literacy rate is influenced by multiple factors, including racial, economic, and gender gaps. Some of the factors that could limit black boys in reading include a higher likelihood of suspension and/or expulsion, leading to lost instructional time. Howard also points out that teachers often have lower expectations for Black boys. Young black boys are not given the same opportunities to participate and are often assumed to know less and be more troublesome and disruptive. He emphasizes that cultural, social, and personal relevance are all crucial if we want to help Black young boys." The state of Black boys literacy rate demands immediate attention, and PSCF is taking bold steps to address it. By building home libraries and offering a dynamic online summer reading program, we aim to empower children with the skills and passion for reading that will shape their futures. Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. Together, let's create a brighter future for the next generation—one filled with the boundless possibilities that literacy affords.

Out of all the causes I care about, children hold a special place in my heart, and here's why. There's something about their innocence, curiosity, and resilience that inspire me to do everything I can to support them and I believe that supporting children - both boys and girls - is crucial for building a better future for our world. On this Children's Day, I need to remind you that these children you see are the future leaders, innovators, and change-makers of our world. They have the potential to bring about positive change and make a significant impact. However, many children worldwide lack access to basic necessities like education, healthcare, and safety, hindering their growth and development, and ultimately affecting us all. So, what can we do today to support children worldwide? We can: • Donate to organizations providing educational resources and support to underprivileged children • Volunteer at local schools or organizations working with children • Advocate for policies prioritizing children's education and well-being • Mentor a child or young person in our community Whether you're a parent, educator, or simply someone who cares, every effort counts. P.S. Share your thoughts and ideas in the comments below on how we can support children and ensure they receive the education they deserve. P.P.S. Repost to support a child.

Ruby Bridges is often remembered as a little girl, from a black and white photo, escorted to elementary school by US Marshalls. That photo was taken on November 14, 1960. But today Bridges is 69 years old, reminding us that the fight for civil rights was not too long ago—and it still on going. Access to education is one of the largest barriers those in historically underserved communities face today. Research consistently shows that children from low-income families are at higher risk of lower academic achievement, with girls facing unique challenges at the intersection of gender and poverty. Studies reveal that girls from impoverished backgrounds may experience increased stress, limited resources, and inadequate support systems, leading to decreased educational attainment. Support 318 Foundation's mission of closing the opportunity gap for girls in historically underserved communities through mentorship, immersive experiences, and sports by donating today at https://hubs.li/Q02kms5q0. #mentorship #nonprofit #shreveport #bhm

As a husband, father and professional I share many of the same aspirations as many of you. A future that’s bright and full of good health, prosperity and promise for the generations that follow. As many of our youth become of age to vote, most have little understanding as to how public policy is woven into every aspect of life in America. Like me, you have likely noticed a lack of policy education in schools across the US. There is an immediate need to provide America's youth with a quality civics education, yet most students never learn about the critical systems and policies that shape their lives. To build a better future our team has been hard at work to join forces as a community - to be intentional in our effort to ensure young people have access to the tools they need to understand and engage with policy. In addition to supporting policymakers and engaging the general public on policy matters, our mission is also focused on providing civic education to high school students across America. Our Policy Education Program is active in 15 schools spanning 12 states, in both well-funded rural settings as well as under-served urban districts. Among other fundraising initiatives, we’ve also launched a Giving Tuesday campaign to continue the expansion of the program to 50 schools by Summer 2024. Several members of our community have agreed to match the first $10,000 raised. So, every $35 means $70, every $100 means $200…and so on. This Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to help educate and inform our future generations of voters. We have a big hill to climb and can’t do it without you. I hope you’ll follow us on social media, sign up for our content and support our efforts to make a real difference. Easy to digest, short form information and data without any political spin or bias directly in your inbox. Know the Source - You Decide. #givingtuesday #policyvspolitics #pvp https://lnkd.in/dmv7Kg5e

An overwhelming majority of students (80%) reported that they gained a deeper understanding of inclusion from TNP. One student shared, “There is no such thing as normal because everyone has their own stories, their own disabilities, their own health situations, and their own life. No two people are the same.” Student, Grade 4, Maryland When you make a gift to The Nora Project, you help TNP reach even more students with powerful, perspective-shifting programming.

Embrace the spirit of #GivingTuesday! Today is all about the joy of giving back and making a positive impact, and you can do so for our 3,000+ scholars in #Cleveland. The primary focus for Breakthrough Public Schools (BPS) continues to be literacy. Breakthrough’s teachers and leadership are focused on helping scholars who have been the furthest behind to improve, with the goal of having every child able to read and comprehend at grade level or above. Their efforts in the 2022-2023 school year have resulted in positive gains in literacy! BPS has decreased the number of scholars who are 2+ grade levels behind in reading by 24% and math by 29%. Additionally, the network more than doubled the percentage of scholars on grade level for literacy and math. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Did you know that the attainment gap in education – that between the poorest and most advantaged – is at its widest level for a decade. Last year, 57% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds left primary school without reaching the expected standard for literacy and numeracy. (Centre for Social Justice 2023). For those children who are the furthest behind and have the most catching up to do, we believe specialist, tailored tuition across all the important #literacy skills - comprehension, listening, speaking, writing and reading - has a significant impact on closing the attainment gap. Now, more than ever, our specialist tuition is needed but without the support of organisations like you, we can only do so much. We rely on donations to help fund our vital work and corporate partnerships play a vital role in helping us to deliver our Literacy Lab and Reading Lab programmes in schools. Contact us today and get involved.
