Young children spend their early grade school years "learning to read." By 3rd grade, they are "reading to learn." Children reading below grade-level by 3rd grade often struggle throughout their entire lives—without intervention, 74% never catch up. The difference between the children who can read at grade-level and those who can't is known among educators as the 3rd grade reading gap. United Way of Allen County is going to close that gap. This is one of four :30 TV spots intended to motivate people in our community to take action by either volunteering to spend time working with kids who struggle to read, and to donate money toward books.
