The program focuses on those students who are on the cusp of being readers. If they do not become strong readers by the end of third grade they typically never will.

Pinal County's current third grade reading attainment is 37% as compared to 46% for the state and a statewide goal of 72% by 2030.

The program inspires adults age 50 and older to serve as reading tutors, making a lasting difference in the lives of America's most vulnerable children.

University s_tudies_ show that 62% of the students in the program improve their reading by 1⁄2 grade level or more.
