READ LEARN SUCCEED | United Way of Central Maryland | UWCM

 

57% of 3rd graders in Maryland can’t read at grade level.

Poor readers in 4th grade are four times as likely to live in poverty.

But you can do something small to help, that’s actually really big.

Our READ LEARN SUCCEED initiative is making a difference in the lives of local youth so that they can learn to read, read to learn, and succeed in school and beyond.

Volunteer to read to a child today - maybe one hour, once a week, or even recruit a team and alternate dates.
