Read Fort Worth is a collective impact effort mobilizing educators, funders, government, businesses, parents and community organizations to see that 100 percent of Fort Worth ISD third-graders read at a college-ready pace by 2025 in support of the school district's 100x25FWTX Initiative.As of 2017, only one in three FWISD third-graders read on grade level, severely limiting the city's education pipeline and pool of human capital. Through the support of a backbone organization and partners aligning their activities through Collaborative Action Networks in four proposed focus areas – School Readiness, Child Well-Being, Expanded Learning and Reading Resources – Read Fort Worth will support partners, strategies and resources to significantly improve early childhood literacy and ensure that all Fort Worth children are successful in school and in life.
