About us
The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading seeks to disrupt generational poverty and ensure more hopeful futures for children of low-income families. We support community-driven initiatives to improve the likelihood that these children will grasp the first rung of the success sequence ladder — graduation from high school. Looking Ahead: Over the next three to five years, CGLR will “stay the course” and “meet the moment” by leveraging the challenges and opportunities presented by pandemic-precipitated learning loss as fuel to increase momentum around early school success and to elevate parents as essential partners. Since its launch in 2012, the GLR Communities Network has grown to include more than 350 communities, representing 46 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and two Canadian provinces — sponsored by 5,200+ local organizations, institutions and agencies and supported by 500+ state and local funders, including 200+ United Ways. These diverse rural and urban communities are home to 17.7 million children ages 0–9, 44.2% of all children in this age group, and 43.8% of children in grades K–3. Across the Network, almost one-quarter of residents under 18 live in poverty.

Mark your calendar. On September 10th from 4-5 p.m. ET, Overdeck Family Foundation and Ad Council will host a webinar revealing key takeaways from a recently completed mixed methods research study examining K-12 parents’ views on education and school absences, and the narratives that would effectively communicate why consistent in-person attendance is critical. Register here: https://lnkd.in/e9cSb5VR The findings in this report and accompanying toolkit, presented by Derrick Feldmann, will provide guidance for policymakers, practitioners, and educators on how to best develop messaging that motivates families to consistently send their children to school in person. Following a review of the research, hear from experts and practitioners Dr. Robert Balfanz, Hedy Chang, Angelica Infante-Green, and Dr. Todd Rogers during a live panel conversation moderated by Lina Eroh. cc: Attendance Works, EveryDay Labs, Everyone Graduates Center, Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University School of Education, Rhode Island Department of Education
