FACT: Nearly one third of Florida's third graders attending public school cannot read at minimally proficient levels.

The focus of this initiative will be working with First Grade students in the lower-performing schools throughout Broward County.  Volunteers will be asked to dedicate one hour a week for 25 weeks starting in September 2013 to read in individual or small group settings.   (Trainings for volunteers will start on June 27, 2013)
