The Reading Corps
The Arlington-Mansfield Reading Corps, inspired by The Campaign for Grade Level Reading, has marching orders to ensure that ALL children in Arlington and Mansfield will read on grade level by the end of third grade.
The Campaign for Grade Level Reading is a collaborative effort spearheaded by funders and nonprofit partners throughout the U.S., including the National Civic League, National League of Cities, United States Conference of Mayors and United Way Worldwide.
