Improving Child Literacy
PARRIS will be donating this money to the elementary schools with the designation that the money be used to improve student literacy.
According to the Literacy Project, students who don’t read proficiently by the 3rd grade are four times likelier to drop out of school! It also noted that, in a study of nearly 100,000 U.S. school children, access to printed materials was the key variable affecting learning how to read.
Strong reading and communication skills are so valued to us here at PARRIS. It is the foundation of our work. We believe that it is also important for our community’s future to ensure that we give our students more access to reading materials and increase the awareness of the important of reading.
