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. Learn how you can help or become a volunteer reader today! | |
