Connecting Faith Communities With
School Approved Reading Programs.
Watch how we can be the difference
66% of at-risk children who are not reading at grade level by age 9 will end up on welfare or in prison.
60% of all prison inmates are functionally illiterate.
75% of all welfare and food stamp recipients read at the lowest levels of literacy.
yet... 89% of children who ARE reading at level by the 3rd Grade will graduate High School, regardless of race, class, and gender.
Connecting Compassionate Communities
Superintendents and community leaders are crying out for safe adult volunteers to read with students. And faith communities are filled with people who want to help. Children’s Literacy Project activates partnerships between schools, literacy programs and local churches by facilitating the much needed volunteer workforce through inspiration, training and activation.
If we can get them reading at grade level by the 3rd grade, we are going to see the fruit of our labor in other subject areas, and as they get older, we’ll see the fruit in our communities.

Jesus is just waiting on us to link our churches up - Small, medium, big…together. - - to link our efforts up… to teach children to read - to keep them out of prison and get them into college.

There is no easier or better way to change the life of a child. If I can help a child read - I am helping them for the rest of their life
