The Caitlin Clark Effect
“Reading and education have always been hugely important in my life. I remember picking out the books from the Scholastic flyer and how empowering that was for me as a child, and how motivated I was to read. I want to help kids have the same experience, to develop their reading skills and open their imaginations to dream big. I am thrilled that my foundation will support reading as Literacy Champions by collaborating with Scholastic and the United States of Readers,” said Clark in a statement from her foundation.

The books will be distributed to elementary schools, middle schools, children’s hospitals, and non-profit organizations – with an emphasis on those in Iowa and Indiana.

The collaboration is aimed at impacting reading access for children in under-resourced schools.
