The Impact We Are Making Together<\/h2><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since 2021, New Worlds Reading has mailed more than 15 million books and reading guides to more than 600,000 students.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

These families have seen the results firsthand: according to our impact report, New Worlds Reading kids scored 15% higher on state testing than eligible-not-enrolled kids in 2025. This extraordinary effort is only possible because of contributions from supporters like you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we can make an incredible impact on Florida's families, strengthening kids' literacy skills and sparking a lifelong love of reading in our next generation of readers and leaders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
