 阅读理解Los Angeles residents Joe Blackstone and Jamie Mohn have long recognized the lasting impact storytelling can have on a child's life. Shortly after getting married, the couple began volunteering to read books to elementary school kids. Then, when they became parents themselves, they created the J3 Foundation to help organizations devoted to children's growth. But after learning two-thirds of fourth graders who cannot read effectively end up on welfare, Blackstone and Mohn decided to take a more hands-on approach: in 2018, they launched J3's Cozy Reading Club.Each session of the two-hour, after-school program is free and includes outdoor activities and a healthy snack. Then, it's time for some comfortable reading. After teachers read a book aloud and the group talks about the storyline freely, the kids find a spot to sit while grabbing a book of their choice to look through. In the end, they get to choose two books to borrow and take home.In its first year, J3's Cozy Reading Club served 15 students in one L. A．-area classroom. As of 2022, it had expanded to 17 schools across four different districts, impacting a total of at least 400 students, the vast majority of whom live in underserved communities. With impressive statistics backing it up 90% of the students have significantly improved their reading scores, and 95% say they've started reading for fun since taking part in the program——its founders have much to celebrate."Having more than 5,000 culturally relevant books available to them is so exciting. I love it when our students can see themselves and their classmates' lives reflected in the books they are reading. The hope of changing one kid at a time makes all the work worthwhile," Blackstone said.Currently, J3 is in the process of raising $864,000, so the Cozy Reading Club can expand to an additional 24 Los Angeles schools and double its book collection to 10,000. This is worthwhile. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reported that 68% of U. S. fourth graders weren't skilled at reading in 2022, up from 66% in 2019. （1） What can be inferred about Blackstone and Mohn? A . They are children's writers. B . They teach reading in a school. C .
