If You Give a Child a Book

“If You Give a Child a Book…”

How would you finish this sentence? At KGUN, we believe giving children books can take them new places, plant the seeds for future success and help break the cycle of poverty. Children who lack access to a variety of books spend far less time reading, resulting in lower reading proficiency and struggle to complete high school. Unfortunately, many children in low-income neighborhoods lack access to the books they need to become competent readers. Our annual “If You Give a Child a Book …” campaign, in partnership with the Scripps Howard Fund, puts books in the hands of these children.

Once again for September, KGUN9’s Giving Project is featuring a campaign near and dear to our hearts: the Scripps Howard Fund’s If You Give a Child a Book. You can donate directly to If You Give a Child a Book directly on the KGUN 9 website at kgun9.com/giveabook. or by texting KGUN to 50155.
