Every child deserves to read...

Too many children leave third grade unable to read—changing the trajectory of their future.

The Learning Alliance is working to ensure all children can be successful readers.

Too often a child...

Sits in a classroom unable to follow along.

Stares at a page full of words that don’t make sense.

Becomes frustrated and gives up.

Futures are altered when a child struggles to read. School becomes harder, confidence fades, and the gap widens. 

Everything changes in third grade...

By third grade, children move from learning to read to reading to learn.

If they’re unable to read by the end of 3rd grade, only 1 in 4 will catch up.

Learning to read secures a child’s future.

Reading is more than a milestone.
It’s the foundation for everything.

Learning to read promises a lifetime of possibility

A child who reads with confidence is more likely to graduate, pursue a career, lead, and give back to their community.

This is where you come in...

Every child who learns to read needs...

Someone to help them.

Someone who believes in their future.

Someone who refuses to let them fail.
