Read On Chandler

Read On Chandler’s partnership with Chandler Education Foundation enriches both organizations. Read on Chandler was developed to ensure children in Chandler’s most vulnerable neighborhoods enter Kindergarten with the foundation they need to be successful. Statistics have shown that incoming Kindergartners in two Chandler zip codes are entering school without the basic skills needed to be successful. In those two zip codes alone, almost 10,000 children were recently identified as unable to meet readiness benchmarks when entering Kindergarten. Without a doubt, this program is critical to creating a generation of children who are well prepared for their future.

Read On Chandler is part of Read on Arizona, a unique partnership of public and private organizations and stakeholders who are committed to creating early literacy systems for Arizona children. Some of Read on Chandler’s partners include:

Chandler CARE Center 

Chandler Gilbert YMCA
