Reading proficiency in America is falling. Our CEO, Asaf Bar-Tura, sat down with NBC News’ Kate Snow to talk about why, and what we can actually do about it.
The segment, part of NBC’s Modern Parenting series, features Asaf discussing the research-backed link between family literacy and childhood outcomes, and how Literacy Partners’ model — working with parents and children together — is built to close the gap that classroom-only interventions can’t.
We were grateful to have the opportunity to spotlight this issue that is affecting millions of families across the country. If you’ve ever wondered how our approach to literacy is different from other organizations, this video explains it.
“Adult reading has been cut in half. Kids are not going to be what they can’t see, so we have a role to play as well.”
Asaf Bar-Tura, Literacy Partners CEO
