The need is real

In California, only 18% of economically disadvantaged students are reading proficiently by the fourth grade. The nationwide trends are similar鈥攏early nine million elementary school students from low-income homes are unable to use reading as a foundational skill to power their learning in all subjects in school. Without developing the reading skills needed to read on grade level, kids don鈥檛 have an equitable chance to succeed in school or in life. In fact, students who can鈥檛 read by fourth grade are four times more likely to not earn a high school diploma.
