Mission Statement
Mission Statement
The ultimate goal of this free reading symposium is to place the research and best practices in the hands of educators and parents. By building systems that support teachers, families, and communities and increase the access to high-quality instructional materials, teachers will improve their practice, families and communities will be empowered, and students will increase time spent engaging with best reading practices. Overall, we want to increase literacy in every student.
