Literacy is the foundation of success in our professional and personal lives, yet 50 percent of our children are not reaching the minimum reading standard.Language is requisite to relatedness, academic success, and personal wellbeing; and in the 21st century, reading is for the first time in history, fundamental to our understanding and experience of language.We at UEHL realize that children who are falling behind in reading are falling behind in life. We recognize the reality of the school-to-prison pipeline, the overwhelming statistics that connect literacy directly to economic and social success, as well as the correlation between mental health and literacy.Our mission is to ensure that every child in public school in the United States is reading at grade level by third grade.Our MissionTo promote public policy which contributes to scalable and affordable housing for public school teachers (K-12) through awareness and advocacy.
