![Section 1 Icon](https://uwsd.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Section-1-Icon.png)
More than 1/2 of all San Diego County children aren’t reading at grade level by the time they enter fourth grade.
Why Reading Matters
- Reading inspires deep thinking from different perspectives
- Reading promotes empathy and intelligence
- Access to books improves overall health
- Strong reading and writing skills help students finish school and get good jobs
We are here to ensure our children are set up for a successful future.
Families,
Communities,
and Partners
Everyone has a role to play in building stronger readers, and all are equally valuable ensuring that all students have the support they need.
Our Vision
We envision a San Diego County where every child is able to build strong reading skills through access to high-quality schooling.
With the help of community members and partners, we can help our children reach their full potential.
We Can’t Do It Alone…
