Why Literacy Matters

Literacy as a Civil Right
Literacy unlocks a lifetime of learning and success. At KIPP DC, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to develop strong reading skills, enabling them to fully participate in society. Literacy is foundational, opening doors to academic achievement, economic mobility, and lifelong learning. That’s why we’re centering this year’s campaign around our ambitious goal: ensuring that 100% of KIPP DC readers grow.

Rebuilding Academic Strength
In the aftermath of the pandemic, students nationwide have faced academic challenges, especially in literacy. Our focus on literacy growth is a critical step in addressing these challenges head-on. With targeted interventions, personalized instruction, and ongoing support for our educators, we are dedicated to helping every KIPP DC student thrive.

Literacy growth isn’t just a goal – it’s a promise. Together, we can ensure that every KIPP DC reader thrives.
