Kids Who Read, SUCCEED!
The first eight years of a child’s life are a critical time in language and literacy development. Too many of our children are not meeting literacy benchmarks upon kindergarten entry. Over half of Virginia’s students in kindergarten through second grade are at high to moderate risk of reading difficulties.
Take Action!
Every Child Needs Books to READ. Support equitable access to books and funding to expand Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library across Virginia.
Tell legislators that our Kids Need Books to Read. Ask them to support Budget Amendments ITEM 124
#8h and ITEM 124 #44s to promote, grow and sustain Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in
communities across Virginia and provide equitable access to books for over 300,000+ children and
families.
