Grade Level reading

Participating Communities

Here’s a list of cities, counties, and towns that have submitted community solutions actions plans to join the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading Network and, in most cases, to apply for the 2012 All-America City Grade-Level Reading Award. The network will provide technical assistance as these communities prepare and implement their plans. If you’re looking for the lead contact in a community, click here.

If you’re working in a participating community and would like to join our private online NING site with resources and more information about the Campaign, email pjordan@gradelevelreading.net with your name and the name of your community. If you’ve already signed up, log in at  http://aacreading.ning.com/
