For more than 5 years, Popcorn Club volunteers, at William Beanes Elementary School in Suitland, Maryland, have helped improve reading scores through fostering a love of reading among the students who participated. This was done, not only with books, but with other connected activities that opened up the world around them. With more resources, the Popcorn Club can reach more students in this way. Reaching more students will promote lessening, and even overcoming, the reading gap. This will require more help — whether financially, as a volunteer, or in other ways.
