Read to Me Project was founded to address the alarming 70% of children in Monterey County who are starting kindergarten as much as two years behind – most of whom never catch up in school. It is the only program reaching into no/low literate, low socioeconomic homes of children 6 months to 5 years old to help establish their early literacy skills and knowledge. Read to Me Project is proven to remedially benefit their brothers and sisters in under-performing 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes as well. In fact, student participant scores improved on average, 68% on standard assessments compared to students who are not in the program.
Donations are Read to Me Project’s lifeline for providing children in low literate families a LIFETIME of equity and greater opportunity. Your funding support will help prevent the root cause of most societal issues – low literacy. Please consider the donation options below.
