Together, we can raise literacy rates, confidence levels, and expand possibilities for all children in Miami.

  • 37% of 4th graders in the United States read "below basic," which means they cannot read, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

  • 70% of 4th graders, who are identified as students with disabilities, are reading below basic levels.

  • 52% of 4th graders eligible for free and reduced-price lunch are reading below basic levels. Children from families with incomes at or below 130% of the Federal poverty level are eligible for free meals.

Thank you again for your support and dedication. Let us work together to ensure that every child has the right to read and the opportunity to thrive.
