One Book. One Child. One Family. One Summer at a Time.
Inspiring children to love reading, build confidence, and succeed!

PSCF's flagship program is thoughtfully designed to challenge children while making learning meaningful and fun! With encouragement and family support, young readers strengthen comprehension, expand vocabulary, improve writing skills, and learn to think independently. Through group discussions and sharing their thoughts aloud, children also gain confidence, learn to express their ideas clearly, and strengthen their communication skills.
Hear from parents and children whose reading experiences have been enriched through PSCF. Their stories reflect the joy, confidence, and connections that books can bring to families.
At PSCF, we believe children's reading efforts deserve recognition! Our Summer Reading Rewards Program rewards children $1 for each completed book summary, up to 20 books and $20 in total rewards. Children keep all their books to build their very own home libraries, while video contests and back-to- school footwear provide additional incentives to celebrate literacy through creativity and achievement.
PSCF may be a small foundation, but we're intentional about making a meaningful difference! For eight years, we've impacted more than 2,500 lives by focusing on quality over quantity. Rather than simply distributing books, we invest in each child's reading experience through personal attention, family involvement, and measurable progress. For us, success isn't just about how many children we reach, but how well we serve them.
PSCF makes summer reading fun, rewarding , and family-centered! Registration opens each March with a $25 non- refundable application fee. Participants receive 20 books, read one daily for four weeks, and earn $1 per written Summary ( due daily by 7:00pm), up to $20.
Parents serve as reading partners, while children enjoy weekly Wednesday Zoom ( 7:00pm.) sessions to share out . Before the summer reading fun begins , we invite parents to join us for an orientation, typically held one to two weeks before the program starts, to learn what to expect and how to help their children succeed!
Best of all, children keep their books to build home libraries!
