United Way of Wyoming Valley believes education remains the best pathway out of poverty. We have developed a number of reading initiatives to focus on the underlying challenges that can keep young children, especially those in low-income families, from learning to read proficiently.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR GRADE-LEVEL READING
United Way of Wyoming Valley has taken a big step toward improving student success in our area by joining the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (GLR), a nationwide movement to increase early reading proficiency. Reading proficiency by the end of third grade is a critical milestone toward high school graduation and success later in life because it marks the transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.”
