WHY READING 3RD GRADE PROFICIENCY MATTERS
Reading proficiency by the end of third grade is a critical milestone in a child's educational journey. Studies show that children who are not reading at grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school. Let's work together to ensure every child in our community has the support they need to succeed.
