Chief among them is that children who start to develop strong reading skills when they are young are more likely to achieve success during their school years and throughout their adult life. Many young children do not have the opportunity to benefit from being able to read a book with a caring adult. By the end of 3rd grade, many of those children are still struggling to learn to read, when they should be reading to learn. http://www.orrvilleareaunitedway.org/ 140 E.
