Our Programs
Children prepared to learn upon entering kindergarten is the focus of Every Child Can Read’s 0-5 year old programs. Studies show that the largest gain in a child’s brain development occurs in the first two years of life. By the age of five, the brain is nearly 90% grown. Children who don’t develop sufficient language skills in those first years are up to six times more likely to experience reading problems in school. Having access to books and being read to at an early age is crucial for educational success.
The goal of our 0-5 year old program is to increase the number of Wayne County children who enter school prepared to learn.
Reading at grade level by 3rd grade is an important benchmark for every child’s educational journey. Third grade reading is the crucial point when a child develops from learning to read to reading to learn. Ensuring Wayne County youth have the tools to achieve this benchmark successfully is the focus of Every Child Can Read’s 6-9 year old programs.
Every Child Can Read provides summer and school year opportunities to build literacy for this age group.
