What is Story County Reads?
Story County Reads is an education coalition with United Way of Story County as the backbone agency. The coalition relies on partnerships with multiple sectors to support work within school readiness, school attendance, summer learning, and general literacy proficiency. The overall vision of Story County Reads is to ensure all youth in our community are proficient in literacy by the end of third grade. The coalition is a part of the national Campaign for Grade Level Reading. Our Community Solutions Action Plan (CSAP) is a blueprint for our community and our work.
