“Despite the challenges involved with social distancing requirements and remote learning, Page Ahead, a program dedicated to closing the literacy achievement gap experienced by at-risk children, was able to provide over 145,000 books to kids in Washington this summer. ‘It was super important and extra challenging,’ says Rebecca Brinbury, Page Ahead’s Development Manager.“
