Why this program matters:

Read for the Record is one way that United Way, along with our partners, highlights the importance of building early literacy and language skills for every child. Our goal is for children to enter kindergarten prepared to succeed and read proficiently by the start of fourth grade, which is a key indicator of future success. Together, we can keep children on track academically.
