2024 Literacy Campaign

Reading is the bridge to every other opportunity.

Thousands of children enter third grade unable to read proficiently. This isn't just a school problem—it's a life trajectory problem. We provide the resources and mentors needed to bridge the gap. p>

Why this matters right now

Reading proficiency by the end of third grade is one of the strongest predictors of high school graduation. When a child struggles to read, they don't just fall behind in English—they struggle in science, history, and math. We believe access to literacy is a fundamental human right, not a privilege of zip code.
