Early grade reading lays the foundation for lifelong success, yet only 32% of fourth graders nationwide reach proficiency levels.
 
Exciting progress is happening! As part of the Cradle to Career Network, Building Our Future is proud to partner with the Wisconsin Reading Corps. Our collaboration with them and local schools has led to over 73% of tutored students exceeding growth targets.

Join us this month as we explore the initiative known as Help Me Grow (HMG) alongside special guests from KAC. HMG is a nationwide system designed to empower parents and caregivers by connecting them with top resources for child development and family wellness.

Discover how this FREE helpline is revolutionizing parenting by offering tailored assistance for children aged from birth to 5 years old, helping you track their growth and development every step of the way. 

Learn about KAC's pivotal role in this initiative within Kenosha and how it stemmed from the Building Our Future's Smart Beginnings Network - a coalition of early childhood professionals committed to ensuring every child in Kenosha County starts kindergarten prepared to thrive. 

Tune into the episode here or wherever you enjoy listening to podcasts!
