The ability to read, think critically and make informed decisions about what you read is the imperative of our time.  

Making sure every child learns to read is essential.  Ensuring that this feat is accomplished by the end of Third Grade is vital, as research indicates that Third Grade reading ability has long term impacts on an individual’s job prospects, health and even how well they will fare in old age.
