More than 80% of Grade 4 learners in South Africa struggle with reading comprehension, and many children begin Grade 1 without ever having held a book.

Through READ, the Santa Shoebox Legacy establishes reading corners in under-resourced ECD centres nationwide. Each reading corner is carefully designed to support early literacy and developmental milestones.

These reading corners help children build confidence, language skills, and a lifelong relationship with books from an early age.
