OUR GOAL:
Our goal is to close the gap in literacy achievement between disadvantaged children and their more affluent peers. We know that early reading = lifelong success. We also know that there is no stronger lever for improving student outcomes than providing a positive and powerful force like a popular student athlete and/or celebrity to read and interact directly with the children.
