We love hearing success stories from our programming!! 💙 🤖 📚
"Yesterday morning I was able to talk with one of the RBBB reader's teachers on the phone. She said she had seen an improvement in the student's willingness and love for reading at school. The parent told me that the student is now reading at the top of her class in school!!" Our community-based organizations are doing such a fantastic job, not only implementing, but also helping with progress monitoring and reporting! #BeExcellent
