My students are from a low socioeconomic background and are already falling behind in reading due to the lack of reading materials they are exposed to. The Matthew Effect is a reading theory that exposes the gap between readers and non readers. The rich (readers) get richer while the poor (non readers) get poorer. This stems from lack of opportunity to read text. Please help lessen the gap and give these students a chance to be productive members of society.
