Giving to the Literacy Grant Challenge invests in Arizona's children and youth's academic and life success and emotional and intellectual development. Children who struggle with reading proficiency by third grade dramatically limit their education options, employment, and income potential, continuing the cycle of illiteracy.
Arizona's children are alarmingly behind, with only 41% of third graders reading at grade level and a state goal of 72%. Three out of every four fourth graders in Arizona cannot read proficiently. Only Nevada, Alaska, and Washington, D.C. have lower National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) reading score percentages. There is an urgent need for improvement.
