Meet Lesai. When Lesai first joined his school’s Literacy Hub in kindergarten, he faced challenges to his education. His attendance was inconsistent, and he needed extra academic support to catch up to his peers. By attending a Literacy Hub for a year, he tested out of early reading assessments altogether. Today, he has officially met every first grade reading goal. We have seen the positive impact Literacy Hubs can have. We are committed to creating more Literacy Hubs at schools all around the Valley. But it can't be done alone. We need YOUR help. If you want to make an immediate impact for multiple children just like Lesai, visit vsuw.org/literacyhubs. (fb)
