Book Up Summer: Every summer, while students from affluent families make progress on their reading skills, students from low-income families lose ground. The effects of summer learning loss are cumulative, and its compounding impact is responsible for much of the reading achievement gap. Book Up Summer addresses this problem, reaching approximately 23,638 students in kindergarten through second grade from high-poverty elementary schools, and giving them 12 books each to read during summer vacation. Giving children their choice of books furnishes them with the resources and incentive necessary to read during the summer, avoid the summer learning loss phenomenon, and ultimately helping to narrow the achievement gap.

Story Leaders: Over the course of a year, low-income children hear 8 million fewer words than children from affluent families. Story Leaders aims to close this word gap by facilitating literacy training and access to books for families whose children could gain the most from the program. Page Ahead partners with ECEAP and Head Start classrooms to provide early literacy training for teachers, new books for children, and home reading support for families. During the 2024-25 school year, 1,739 students received nearly 15,070 new books.
