Family Engagement
Parents and families play the most powerful and influential role in children’s lives. As children’s first teachers, brain builders, tech navigators, advocates, and coaches, parents and families set the stage for success in the early years and early grades. The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading recognizes that parents and families are the secret sauce!
