California Ranks 42nd in Reading to Children
In the report "Reading Across the Nation: A Chartbook" 50 states and the District of Columbia were ranked based on the the percentage of children who were read to daily. California ranks 42nd out of the participating states. The national average is 47.8% of the children between birth and five years of age are read to daily, however in California only 44.6% of these children have this opportunity. This just reinforces the need for ELF services throughout the state and the importance of the work you are doing. Check the UCLA Newsroom for the more details on the findings of this report at
