Read Better Be Better is committed to ensuring that a high-quality education is accessible to all students, focusing on the importance of 3rd-grade literacy as a foundation for equity and social justice.

Advocacy is our approach to ensure that Arizona’s education system is structured in such a way that all students can access the tools and relationships they need to read at 3rd grade.

1. Advocate for all students to be instructed with Science of Reading-aligned reading curriculum
   
   
2. Support Youth Leaders on a pathway to the education profession, with an understanding of the importance of literacy on this journey
