Working together, we believe our community can increase the percentage of children who finish third grade at College and Career Ready on the state reading assessment from 29% in spring 2024 to 80% by spring 2030. About 3,064 CMS third graders (29%) in spring 2024 met CCR on the EOG. We need to increase up to about 5,389 more annually to be on-level to reach the 2030 target of 80%.
Read Charlotte is a community initiative that unites educators, community partners, and families to improve children’s reading from birth to third grade. We don’t run programs. We are a capacity-building intermediary that supports local partners to apply evidence-based knowledge about effective reading instruction and interventions, high-quality execution, continuous improvement, and data analysis to improve reading outcomes.
Read Charlotte is a civic initiative of Foundation For The Carolinas.
