Turn The Page Kc Inc

Inclusive books/3rd grade reading initiative: to become readers,children must be invited into reading with inclusive literacy materials,onesthat welcome, celebrate, intrigue, and comfort all children. Books, in particular, must serve as "windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors" for children to see themselves, to see others different from themselves, and to recognize that they have access to the paths they want in life. At turn the page kc, we put those ideas in action by distributing materials that include, but are not limited to: diverse racial, ethnic, and religious representation; people from all continuums of gender and sexuality; varieties of family structures; depictions of diverse ability statuses; and stories that show how identities intersect.

Read 360: is a new collective impact program from turn the page kc focused on centering the voices of parents and families, one neighborhood at a time, to direct the resources and services from across the city that increase literacy. Read 360 program partners focus on listening and supporting neighborhood literacy councils and leveraging the unique and specific assets that support the growth they envision. Collective impact helps leverage the strengths of community-based partners, educational partners, literacy partners, health partners, and civic partners so that the children of every neighborhood in greater kc experience language-rich environments, enter kindergarten ready to learn to read, and achieve grade level reading proficiency by the 3rd grade.
