United Way Regina introducing literacy initiatives for school children this year By Moises Canales
Jan 27, 2021 1:12 PM
United Way Regina is taking part in a number of initiatives over the next year to help early childhood literacy rates in the city.
Amanda Lanoway, director of engagement with United Way Regina, said the city has partnered with the Campaign for Grade Level Reading Network (CGLR) in order to provide access to literacy supports for schools and community organizations.
“Education is foundational to preventing poverty, violence and crime; learning how to read is a critical piece of this education puzzle. The CGLR focuses on one factor which predicts school success better than all others: Grade 3 reading,” reads a statement by United Way Regina on the newly announced project.
