In Kenosha County, just one in four children read proficiently in third grade, an early indicator of a student's success.
United Way of Kenosha County's Readers Are Leaders tutoring program, in collaboration with Kenosha Unified School District, provides young children in grades kindergarten through third grade with tutors on a regular basis to increase reading achievement in the early grades.
In just 30 minutes per week, Readers Are Leaders volunteers help students become more confident and capable readers.
