Volunteer through ReadingPals
FACT: Nearly one third of Florida's third graders attending public school cannot read at minimally proficient levels. And, sadly, those children are four times more likely to drop out of high school.
In an effort to ensure more children are reading at grade level by the end of third grade, United Way of Broward County is excited to announce ReadingPals - a three-year initiative focused on engaging, training and deploying volunteer "reading pals" in our community.
Partners in this exciting new program include: The Children's Movement, United Way of Broward County, Broward County Public Schools, the Women's Leadership Council, Early Learning Coalitions, and the Children's Services Council of Broward County.
ReadingPals is a statewide initiative that will concentrate on engaging students from prekindergarten to third grade. The focus of this initiative will be working with students in the lower-performing schools to encourage and enhance early literacy.
