What we're up against
By tracking these data points over a 10-year period and in collaboration with Impact2032, our goal is to increase the number of 3rd graders scoring at or above state expectations for reading to 87%.
How we make it better
Early brain development lays the foundation for children to become lifelong learners and confident readers. Around third grade, the shift from learning to read to reading for comprehension becomes a pivotal milestone. Children who are not reading at grade level by this stage often encounter challenges in other subjects, impacting their overall academic journey. Supporting children’s success is one of the most profound ways to uplift our entire community.
Impact2032 is committed to ensuring children have the essential health and safety resources they need to thrive and be ready to learn.
Impact2032 and its partners equip children and families with tools to build literacy, language skills, and school readiness, while fostering their social and emotional growth. Together, we’re creating opportunities that pave the way for brighter futures.
