Why building home libraries is so important

# data[].attributes.subject
Why building home libraries is so important

# data[].attributes.body
TLDR: Key points from the research paper:

By age 18, the average student in the United States will spend only 13% of his or her waking time in school

as much as 80% of the reading achievement gap that exists between economically advantaged and disadvantaged students in sixth grade is the result of summer learning setbacks

children from low-socioeconomic households are less likely to have even 10 books in their homes.

the measurable impact of a home library was equal to or larger than high-cost interventions.

books that are engaging and easily accessible are an inexpensive, proven way to reduce summer learning loss.

after controlling for economic status, father’s occupation, and parental education, the effect of home access to books had about the same impact as parental education on student achievement. The impact was double the impact of the father’s occupation and outpaced family economic status. What’s more, students with the biggest gains from home libraries are those who came from a lower economic status.

Children growing up in homes with many books go on to receive, on average, three years more schooling than children from bookless homes, regardless of their parents’ education, occupation, and economic status

The greater access children have to books in school and at home, the more likely they are to cultivate an appreciation for diverse experiences and develop empathy for others

In early grades (K–2), reading achievement drives the volume of books read; children who are strong readers read more. During these years, home libraries make for good practice, building fluency and comprehension and ensuring that students think of themselves as good readers.

Research shows that having books at home as a child results in higher adult brain function, increased empathy, and better physical health

Increasing children’s access to books correlates to “dramatically positive effects” on reading growth and achievement

Children in homes with more extensive home libraries read more, have higher-level reading skills, and attain more years of education overall than those with access to fewer books, even after controlling for parental education level

Nearly one-third of American families (28%) have fewer than 25 books in the home

Manu (2019) found that “the likelihood of being on track in literacy-numeracy almost doubled if at least one book was available at home compared to when there was none” (p. 1). This finding was supplemented by research indicating that each additional book in a home library has larger benefits for families with fewer books than for families with many (Sikora et al., 2018).

There is a convincing progression of findings when considering the impact of home libraries.

1. Access to home libraries is unequivocally linked to student achievement and to lifelong success.

2. Children without access to reading materials in the home are more likely to suffer learning losses when out of school.

3. Home libraries are one of the best tools schools and communities have to combat learning loss.

Five Books: Reading five books during the summer can prevent a decline in reading achievement when returning to school

Twenty-Five Books: A child who hails from a home with 25 books will, on average, complete two more years of school than a child from a home without any books at all.

Eighty Books: Having approximately 80 books in an adolescent home library raises literacy levels to average.

When Malcolm Mitchell started college as one of the University of Georgia’s top recruits, he could only read at about a junior high level — so he began putting as much effort into his reading game as his football game and eventually joined a book club. His self-confidence propelled him outside his comfort zone. Now, Mitchell is not only a Super Bowl champion, but also an author.
