Children's Literacy Project - Share Literacy
An alarming number of children enter school without the language and literacy foundation they need to succeed — a situation with profound implications for their lives and for society. The good news is that almost all children can greatly increase their reading through early intervention programs. To date through Share Literacy, ISHK has donated more than 350,000 books to early childhood literacy and school programs serving preK-Gr. 8, and we need to do more. Share Literacy relies on donations and grants to cover its direct expenses: production and printing of materials and professional development costs. Your contribution will go a long way to help. For more information on this program, go to www.shareliteracy.org.

Hoopoe Books
Traditional Teaching-Stories of Central Asia, Afghanistan and the Middle East have been shown to activate the context-forming parts of the brain and help develop tolerance and more flexible thinking. Through our Hoopoe Books publishing project, we have now published a series of eight books with versions of these stories for children by Idries Shah. The beautiful illustrations feature authentic details of the art, architecture and dress of the region, providing much-needed positive images from these traditional cultures. The series has garnered many positive reviews, awards and distinctions. Three more titles are in the works for publication as our funds allow.

All About Me: Human nature series for children ages 10-14.
We need to understand more about our basic psychological makeup, how we behave in groups and how we are influenced. In the wake of tragedies like Columbine, developmental psychologists have found that such an understanding is important for very young children. With the National Urban Alliance for Effective Education (NUA) and the American Psychological Association (APA), we are exploring an exciting new program to make learning about human nature a part of early education.
