  • HIKE: Closing the Literacy Gap

    The line of success is clear: children who read at grade level are more likely to graduate from high school. And those who graduate from high school are more likely to pursue further education or get a job. Phoenix Family and the Trent Green Family Foundation have made it our top priority to ensure that all children we serve read at grade level before they reach middle school.
