Read by Third Grade!

Thanks to years of research, advocacy and all of your hard work, it seems 
that everyone is getting the message that our children need to be 
reading by the end of third grade.  Some of our favorites:

Literate Nation promotes legislation and advocacy for all our children 
reading by third grade.  Share this movie! Literate Nation Movie  

The Campaign for Grade Level Reading is supported by dozens of funders 
and dedicates the All American City award to communities that have 
developed the most comprehensive, realistic and sustainable plans to 
increase grade-level reading proficiency by the end of third grade.
