"Teach a Child to Read - Their Dreams will Soar"
The Literacy Project Foundation and The Regents of the University of California hear the cry…"I am not stupid, I just can’t read!"
We have one focus - giving struggling students the very foundational base of learning; the ability to read.
Today, with school systems slashing millions from their in-classroom budgets along with most after school programs, the future of our children’s education is in serious crisis. As it is, many of our children are already struggling with their reading skills and as a community we are challenged with staggering illiteracy statistics nationwide. Now more than ever, we risk leaving great minds behind as students are left without basic reading skills. Their ability to dream and fulfill their God-given talent will be diminished.
Did you know that currently 45 million Americans are functionally illiterate and cannot read above a fifth grade level?
The Literacy Project Foundation is leading the charge against growing illiteracy with Get Set Read!™, a powerful new after school reading practice tool co-developed by The Regents of the University of California and The International Literacy Project. Engineered over four years with some of the State’s leading reading specialists, Get Set Read!™ is a 10-week reading program of exceptional merit that is now yielding unprecedented success.
The Gift of Literacy ~ giving a child the chance to visualize what the world has to offer and become everything they dream to be.
“The Get Set Read!™ program is a “must see” and “must utilize” for the reading success of our children!"
David Long, Ph.D., Former California Secretary of Education
