Literacy is Power that Transforms Lives

The Eyeseeme Foundation

Our mission is to promote literacy and a love for reading among African American households based on the latest research in children's literacy

The Eyeseeme Foundation is the non-profit arm of the Eyeseeme African American Children's Bookstore. Thanks to your generous donations the Foundation creates programs that increase childhood literacy for under-served communities.

​Top Predictor of Academic Success

Books In The Home

Research tells us that the number one predictor of academic success is the number of books a child has in their home. For example, University of Nevada-Reno sociologist Mariah Evans led a research team and conducted a 20-year study that found the presence of books in the home to be the top predictor of whether a child will do well on standardized tests and attain a high level of education. This was found to be especially true for children from disadvantaged families.

Unfortunately, the children that need it the most can afford it the least.
