2017-2018School yearDear Book Trust Family,A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT & CEOI am truly inspired by this extraordinary Book Trust community. I had the great honor ofjoining Book Trust in July 2018, and each time I walk into one of our Book Trust classroomsI can feel my heart becoming bigger. I can’t thank each of you enough for being a part ofthe Book Trust mission. Whether you are a teacher, parent, education advocate, volunteer,business leader, or philanthropist, your contribution and investment in Book Trust makesall the difference.Since our founding in 2001, Book Trust, in partnership with Scholastic Book Clubs, hasinvested more than 19 million into more than 7.6 million books for children to chooseand own. Book Trust has served nearly 350,000 students cumulatively and student bookpurchases have accumulated more than 109 million Scholastic bonus points for Book Trustteachers to invest in their own classroom and school libraries. These numbers translateinto schools and communities creating a culture of literacy that inspires students’ love andpassion for reading.This past year, Book Trust was the beneficiary of the 2018 Eagles for Impact Challenge, whichgarnered national television and media publicity throughout The PLAYERS Tournament.Thanks to the PGA Tour Professional Justin Rose and the support of the Kate and Justin RoseFoundation, Morgan Stanley partnered with Book Trust at the PGA PLAYERS Championship.Morgan Stanley committed a donation for each Eagle made during the tournament, equalingmore than 96,000 books selected and owned by our students nationally. We continue to begrateful for corporations like Morgan Stanley who are leading the way in doing business andmaking a meaningful impact on their local and national communities.The demand for our program continues to grow. We have developed a more sophisticatedtool for principals and school district leaders to complete called “The Book Trust Fit Test,”which includes questions about literacy instruction alignment with the program and theschool/district’s ability to bring a portion of the funding to our partnership. Currently, wehave more than 200 qualified schools on our “waitlist,” representing 165,000 boys and girlswho we could reach today if we had the resources to make it possible. These boys and girlsare who we think of each day and where our focus is to direct our funding andexpansion STATESThank you for bringing the joy and power of reading to our children who need it most andfor being such an important member of our Book Trust community. As we continue to evolveand plan for the next five years and beyond, we are committed to quality education access,equity and agency. We are grateful for your partnership and we’re excited for the opportunityto work together ahead. On behalf of all of our Book Trust students from Hawaii to New York,we thank you.900,000 In partnership, 5.2 MBOOKSIN REVENUETiffany R. Kuehner President & CEO5
THE OPPORTUNITYBOOK CHOICE & OWNERSHIP MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCEI’m Angel - a fourthgrader who can’t readat grade level.IN CLASSROOMS, IN HOMES, IN COMMUNITIESSTEP 1: TEACHER TRAINING & SUPPORTBook Trust is a teacher-led, student-driven national early literacyprogram which includes a step-by-step supported and evaluatedprocess to ensure students have the opportunity to discoverthe joy and power of reading.Let’s choosesome great bookstogether.THE BOOK TRUST PROGRAMBook Trust managers and teachers receivein-depth training at the beginning of everyschool year with content focused on thepower of interest-based choice and its directcorrelation to students’ motivation to read.Teachers also spend time digging intoreading tactics, family engagement, andthe benefits of playing an active rolein daily reading in the classroom.I love toread & learn!Your newbooks arehere!YES! Myfavorite day ofthe month!Mom, can Iread to you?You bet! Let’sread all the booksyou got thismonth.STEP 2: CLASSROOM IMPLEMENTATIONI’m behind —and alwayswill be.THE CHALLENGETHE LITERACY CRISIS IN AMERICA There are 16 million kids living in povertyin the United States. In low income areas, there is only one book for every300 kids, but middle class neighborhoods average13 books per child. Children who are not reading at grade level by the end of thirdgrade are four times more likely to drop out of high school; forchildren being raised in poverty, that number increases to seventimes more likely to drop out. The drain on our economy due to illiteracy is enormous – anestimated 300 billion in opportunity costs annually is directly dueto the fact that 14% of adults in the United States (almost 40 million)cannot read at a functional level. 85% of all juveniles who interface with the court system arefunctionally low literate. 90% of welfare recipients are high school drop outs.6 BOOK TRUSTTeachers implement Book Trust’s Program intheir classrooms every month of the schoolyear, establishing habits and behaviors of avidreaders. Students’ motivation to read increasesas teachers empower them to choose booksbased on their individual interests.Teachers place the students’ orders withScholastic Book Clubs and accumulateadditional bonus points to purchasetheir own classroom supplies.STEP 3: CELEBRATION & OWNERSHIPAnticipation builds as teachers place students’orders on Scholastic’s website and kids startasking, “Are the books here yet?” And whenthat book box arrives, magic awaits inside.Celebration naturally erupts as kids hug theirnew books and share their choices with peers.After celebrating, kids fill their backpacks andshare their books with their siblings and familymembers at home, building a meaningfuland motivating library of their own. Oncethat culture of literacy is established in theclassroom and at home, students are ableto succeed in school and beyond.“My daughter, Grace, looks forward to Book Trust day. Books are her treasure. They make her feel smartand she enjoys putting herself into the stories by pretending she’s one of the characters. I loveseeing Grace come home super-excited about her new books — we always have to read them rightaway! You will never really know how the little things like this have such a huge impact onfamilies like mine that struggle just to pay the bills. Again, thank you for this program!”BOOK TRUST PARENT7
