12 months
Description
Reading proficiency by the third grade is a key indicator of high school graduation, but over eighty percent of low-income children miss this milestone. As a collaborative effort launched in 2010, the Grade Level Reading (GLR) Campaign brings together funders, nonprofits, business leaders, researchers, and state and local government officials from over 340 member communities to develop and share tools, strategies, guidebooks, and resources that support parents in enabling their children to achieve reading proficiency by the end of the third grade. By working with communities to target school readiness, school attendance, and summer learning, while empowering parents as teachers in their children’s learning process, the GLR Campaign enables students to achieve this milestone. With support from the Corporation, the GLR Campaign will continue to build on its progress in increasing reading proficiency among low-income students, partner with parent-facing organizations such as Head Start, YMCAs, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to support parents, provide technical assistance and strategic support to states and communities, and increase funders’ knowledge and investments in the area of parent engagement.

Description
Launched in 2010, the Grade Level Reading (GLR) Campaign is a decade-long collaborative effort by funders, nonprofits, public officials, government agencies, business leaders, states and more than 285 communities to assure many more children from low-income families succeed in school and have the opportunity to graduate from high school prepared for college, a career, and active citizenship. The GLR Campaign focuses on reading proficiency by the end of third grade, a key predictor of high school graduation and a milestone missed by more than 80 percent of low-income children. With renewed support from the Corporation, the GLR Campaign will continue to ensure there is broad-based support for and investment in “on-track” child development, learning, and literacy across the early years and grades; widespread community engagement, civic action, and citizen service to find and implement community solutions to barriers to student success; and local, state, and federal policy reforms to strengthen, scale, and sustain improved outcomes and school success for children in low-income families continues.
