Reading proficiency by third grade is the most important predictor of high school graduation and career success. Yet every year, more than 80 percent of low-income children nationwide miss this crucial milestone.

Tahoe Truckee Reads is a coalition of partners committed to improving the reading success of Tahoe Truckee youth. The initiative focuses on school readiness, school attendance, and avoiding summer learning loss.   The initiative will help to ensure that more children in our community succeed in school and graduate prepared for college, a career, and active citizenship.
