About Read by 4th

Read by 4th is a citywide effort of an ever-growing network of partners working to dramatically increase the number of children reading on grade-level by the time they begin 4th grade. Led by the Free Library of Philadelphia, the coalition of 130+ organizations works to support early learning experiences that build school-readiness and promote quality reading instruction, increase access to summer and out-of-school-time learning, and boost daily on-time attendance through asset based family engagement, neighborhood led community mobilization, and equitable policy and system change.
