The K-3 Home Library program, a resource developed by Governor’s Early Literacy Foundation (GELF) in collaboration with Scholastic, was developed in 2020 and delivers the books and resources students and educators need to make summer reading successful. It has quickly become the largest distribution effort of its kind in the state of Tennessee, and in the past year, reading proficiency among third graders has increased by 16%, from 32% in June 2022 to 40% in June 2023.
