- Children face preventable health and safety risks (bike accidents, lack of proper seat belt use,
drowning and poor health habits). - Most safety information is directed at parents.
- Traditional safety education often fails to engage young learners.
- Traditional safety education often lacks ‘the stickiness factor’ so information is not retained.
- Children lack excitement about learning to read.
- Literacy levels have been falling since 2017.
- Fifty-four percent of adult Americans have a literacy level below 5th grade. Getting children excited about becoming better readers is of critical importance for those children and for our country.
