Books for Kids Early Literacy Initiative
Read to Grow and the United Way of Coastal Fairfield County have come together in a Books for Kids Early Literacy Initiative to ensure that the home environments of children in the United Way's 12-town region are literacy-rich, containing age-appropriate books. This project is part of the UWCFC's Early Literacy Initiative, whose goal is to have all children reading at grade level by grade three.
