When a love of reading begins, Futures Grow: Celebrating National Reading Month in United Way Community Schools
When a child is reading on grade level by the end of third grade, they are up to 13 times more likely to graduate high school. Reading has the power to transform lives. It opens doors to new ideas, sparks imagination and helps children build the confidence they need to succeed in life, college and career.
This National Reading Month, United Way Community Schools welcomed volunteer guest readers from corporate sponsors, United Way staff and affinity groups to inspire a love of reading. By sharing stories, fostering imagination and encouraging a love of reading, we’re helping students build skills that will shape their futures. Thank you to our incredible volunteers for making this month so special for children across the Lehigh Valley.
