Start Reading Now

Did you know? 40% of 4th graders can't meet even basic reading standards. 😔

That is not just a statistic. That's 10 million kids heading into middle school already behind.

The good news is early intervention works. We just have to act before it is too late.

Help us reach more kids before 4th grade. 💙

Early Help Changes Everything ✨
Here is something worth sharing:

90% of kids with reading struggles can reach grade level IF they get help in 1st grade.

Wait until age 9? That number drops dramatically.

The earlier we step in, the bigger the impact we make. That is the whole mission.

The Year That Changes Everything! 📖 3rd grade is not just another school year. It is THE year.

Kids who can't read proficiently by 3rd grade are 4x more likely to not graduate from high school.

That window does not stay open forever, but right now it is still open. That's why we show up every day.

Start Reading Now is helping close the achievement gap for kids in grades 1–3, one reader at a time.
