Seven out of ten public school fourth graders cannot read at grade level in the United States.

The Wonder of Reading seeks to change that dismal statistic. Over 130,000 elementary-age children throughout Greater Los Angeles attend over 200 Wonder of Reading partner schools. Each school has a beautifully renovated and restocked library.  More than 5,500 volunteers have been trained as literacy mentors for struggling students at these schools.
