One in six children who are not reading proficiently in the third grade does not graduate from high school on time, a rate four times greater than that for proficient readers, according to The Annie E. Casey Foundation. You can help make a lasting impact on children in Palm Beach County by volunteering at our upcoming Literacy Kit projects. A Literacy Kit is a resource used to encourage a love of reading in children in hopes of getting them to read at the appropriate grade level. Join us on Tuesday, July 23rd or Thursday, August 8th at our United Way office to make Literacy Kits for pre-k students in our community!
